Throughout the Mausoleum and the Courts of the Book are notable works of architectural glass. Rich in symbolism, the art brings ancient Jewish history to life.
The walls in the Courts of the Book glow with the sunrise and sunset each day. Vivid, brilliant, abstract, yet interconnected in design, these works inspire, give hope, and remind us of the magnificence of the gift of life.
The most spectacular are the contemporary architectural glass windows in three locations of the Courts of the Book. The largest runs the height of the building and is positioned to capture the setting sun’s western light. Vivid blues, purples, and plums flow around starbursts of glass in greens, whites, oranges, and yellows.
Directly opposite, catching the eastern morning light is another contemporary design featuring yellow, white, and orange architectural glass.
A third window, also of contemporary design, is located on the eastern wall and can be viewed from different sides at different levels in the Courts of the Book. Tall and narrow, it catches both the eastern and western sun through panes of gold, orange, and white architectural glass.
