Bowdoin Hillel Ark
Thanks to a generous donation we were able to commision a spectacular ark (aron kodesh) in the Summer of 2005.
The ark was designed by David Israel (of Bowdoin IT) with crucial support by Judith Maslin. The design was futher streamlined by the extraordinary Brunswick woodworker, Eric Koehler. Parochet (curtains and torah mantle) were desighned and crafted by Eugenia King (Library).
The ark is a 2 peice affair that is crafted out of cherry. The exterior is a suble arts and crafts deign that opens tho reveal the ten commandments in a traditions way of depicting them.
