Above is one of the two menorahs which sit atop the pair of collumns flanking the Aron Hakodesh, in the Lopati Chapel

The menorah is decorated with a motif of ten circles, the "Ten Seiferot," known as the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, rencered, here, with ten faceted jewels.

The branches of the menorah are constructed of almond blossoms, eighteen, in all, for life.
