ANTICIPATION
– Presence in a Sacred Space
  
A sanctuary can inspire, distract, and even detract. The first sanctuary was meticulously built according to God’s directions during the Israelites’ wandering in the wilderness about 3500 years ago. Since then, depending on geography, local building traditions, and prosperity – or lack thereof – many different sensibilities have manifested themselves in architectural style, interior layout, building materials, and execution of the respective ritual objects.
 
Taste regarding sanctuary decor aside, this special meeting place is always defined by the presence of the Torah and the people holding on to their Etz Chayim, their Tree of Life.
