Torah Cover

[kerryp]

A torah cover I designed and made was selected for permanent display in the Jewish Museum of Florida. The top portion is butternut wood carved to bring to mind the ark of the covenant. The two carved cherubim face one another with their wings outspread, surrounded by a border of carved pomegranate blossoms. The bottom portion is linen, brocade

Thank you, so much! I am very excited to have it in the museum! BTW...I wanted to let you guys know that the Jewish News digitized it's archives from 1923-present last week and there are many references to the different Rabbi's Burstein, which may interest your DH. They can be found at archive.jta.org .
