the doors of the Aron Hakodesh are decorate with a design of the twin column which flanked the entrance to the First Temple in Jerusalem. They are depicted as being made up of all the materials which God requested of the Israelites, at Sinai, to build the original tabernacle, i.e. gold, silver, copper, crimson and purple dyed yarns, red dyed skin, lapis and acacia wood. The gems of the twelve tribes of Israel are also symbolized.
