Aron ha-Kodesz

Be szaa towa u muclachat! With God’s help, and at just the right moment, we were able to install the Isaac Aron ha-Kodesh in the synagogue. Together with the bimah, it is one of the two most important elements of the synagogue’s interior. We completed the installation two days before the fast of the Seventeenth of Tammuz. The bimah and the remaining furnishings will be brought in after the Ninth of Av, as a sign of respect for the Three Weeks of mourning commemorating the destruction of the Second Temple.

Chains of Light

Chains of Light / Ogniwa Światła is an artistic project showcasing the spirituality and life of Hasidim through the subjective language of photography. Its goal is not to offer religious testimony, but to tell a universal story about identity, community, and intercultural dialogue. The photographs were taken between 2006 and 2012 during annual pilgrimages to Leżajsk and Lelów, building a multi-voiced narrative; each exhibition represents a new fragment and interpretation. The project will also be published as a book, concluding the entire story.
