Topic: Aron Kodesh

	IEM Torah Commentry: Terumah
		The aron is the first of the kelim listed; it is the only kli placed in the kodesh hakedoshim; it holds the cherished luchot habrit.
		We would expect that the aron kodesh would be described in similar, if not identical, terms in the texts about the Beit Hamikdash.
		Therefore, the emphasis in the mishkan, chutz la'aretz experience is on the aron kodesh.

	Ark (synagogue) - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Ark in a Jewish synagogue is known as the Aron Kodesh (or aron qodesh ארון קודש in Hebrew-- "Holy Ark or Closet").
		In most cases, when possible, the aron kodesh is located on the wall of the synagogue closest to Jerusalem, considered the holiest spot in the world by Judaism.
		The name is a reference to the aron ha-qodesh, the Hebrew name for the Ark of the Covenant which was stored in the Holy of Holies in the anceint Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem.

	History of the Aron Kodesh
		An Aron Kodesh is a closet or chest in which are kept the T or ah scrolls used in the public w or ship of the synagogue.
		Sometimes the Aron Kodesh is fashioned as a recess or niche in the wall, and the design is then very properly considered in connection with the architectural treatment of the interi or of the synagogue.
		The Aron Kodesh is always surmounted by a representation of the two tables of the Law, while a perpetual lamp hangs in front; silver and bronze lamps of rich w or kmanship are often placed at the sides.

		The structure of a shul might seem haphazard, but in actuality the central parts of the shul-- the Aron Kodesh, the amud where the hazzan davens, and the bimah where the Torah is read-- have fairly specific placements.
		The Aron Kodesh, obviously, is in front of the shul, but there is some question as to how important it is to place it along the eastern wall of the shul.
		In the YU Beit Midrash, where the Aron is on the northern wall of the room (there are bookshelves along the eastern wall), you will find some people standing to the left of the Aron, so that as they face the Aron they are also facing somewhat eastward.

	BKNW \| Beis Haknesses of North Woodmere
		Shlomo, the wisest of all men, decided to plan for the future by building an area in the depths of the har habayis in order to hide the aron kodesh when the beis hamikdash would be destroyed.
		Due to Shlomo’s foresight, although the aron was not a visible part of the second beis hamikdash, it was actually there under ground the entire time that the second beis hamikdash stood.
		Had the aron not been present throughout the time of the second beis hamikdash, albeit hidden, that beis hamikdash would not have enjoyed its normal level of kedusha.

		Two Sections Detailing the Aron's Construction: A closer inspection of the section detailing construction of the aron reveals several features which might suggest that this 'parasha' of 13 pesukim must itself be split into two sub-sections.
		Aron of Torah/Luchot - Aron Ha-eidut: The most striking feature or function of the aron is that it contained the luchot and/or the Sefer Torah.
		It is highly symbolic that the Torah describes the "badim" (the poles used to transport the aron) in the first section describing the aron Ha-eidut.

	Temple Mount Sinai - Who We Are
		The Jew is constantly alerted and sometimes admonished by the writings of his teachers to distinguish between the holy and profane, between the sanctified and the mundane.
		This separation is assiduously achieved in the Temple sanctuary, for it is the sanctuary that the K’lee Kodesh, the Holy vessels, reside.
		On the Bema, inaccurately translated as the pulpit, are the Aron Ha-Kodesh, the Ner Tamid, and the Menorah.

	Ark (synagogue) Information
		The Ark in a synagogue (Jewish house of worship) is known as the Aron Kodesh amongst Ashkenazim and as Hekhál amongst most Sefardim.
		This name is a reference to the aron ha-qodesh, the Hebrew name for the Ark of the Covenant which was stored in the Holy of Holies in the ancient Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem.
		Hekhál, also written hechal, echal or heichal — and sometimes also Echal Kodesh (mainly amongst Balkan Sephardim) comes from Hebrew הֵיכָל [hēkhāl] ‘palace’, a term which was also used in the time of the Temple in Jerusalem to refer to the inner sanctuary containing the Holy of Holies.

	Fabrangen Aron Kodesh
		"Ellen Garshick, Rick LaRue, and I started thinking about making an aron kodesh for Fabrangen during 2003/5764 Rosh Hashanah services, when Ellen and Rick were deciding on a gift they could give the congregation to mark the bar mitzvah of their son, Carl LaRue.
		I knew immediately that I wanted something “soft.” I didn’t want an aron with hard lines, and I wanted something vaguely organic, since that is how I see the essence of Fabrangen.
		The aron is made primarily of walnut and maple, which are not only two of my favorite woods but complement each other beautifully, allowing contrast to become an integral part of the design.

		The Bavli issues a vague statement (55a): "when he sprinkles, he doesn't sprinkle UPON the kapporet, but alongside the thickness of the kapporet." Rashi interprets this statement to mean that the blood wasn't sprinkled on the roof of the kapporet, but alongside its thickness (ostensibly falling to the floor).
		According to the opinion that the blood actually touched the Aron, we would be inclined to deem this sprinkling as an 'Aron' sprinkling.
		Conversely, if we claim that the blood never touched the Aron and was indeed kodesh ha-kodoshim blood, we might question both the syntax of the pasuk as well as the halakha itself.

	Halachah in Brief #47
		The preference for davening towards the east led to the general preference, when possible, to place the Aron Kodesh along the eastern wall, so that people would both be facing east and the Aron at the same time.
		In our main sanctuary, the Aron is along the eastern wall, so that which side of the Aron one sits affects the direction that person should face.
		For the men who face the Aron directly (and the women who avail themselves of the balcony), facing straight ahead, while not due east, is probably close enough to east that they should face that way (particularly since it is more southeast, which may actually be a more accurate pointing towards Israel).

	Hebrew Word of the Week - Aron
		On top of the ark was the kapporet (mercy seat) where during Yom Kippur the kohen gadol (high priest) would sprinkle blood between the outstretched wings of the cherubim to make atonement for the sins of the people.
		In the modern synagogue, the Aron Hakodesh (holy ark) is the cabinet where sanctified Torah scrolls are stored.
		In most synagogues, the ark is an elaborate work of art, elevated off the floor and placed against the eastern wall (the direction of Jerusalem here in the west).

		However, those standing on the southern side of the aron should not incline towards the south because then their back will be facing the aron kodesh.
		In 94:13 he writes that if the aron is on the northern or southern side of the synagogue one who is praying individually (not with a minyan) can pray towards the eastern wall.
		If, though, he finds himself praying south of the aron, he should not incline himself thus, so as not to appear to have one's back to the aron." My general impression is that he is also only concerned about having one's back to the aron for one who stands directly south of the aron.

		Orah (1987) is an aron kodesh made especially for a mourner's house.
		The aron kodesh utilizes landscape imagery to evoke a mourner's consciousness, exactly the kind of depiction that most Torah arks avoid because of the ancient fears of nature worship.
		The human figure is boldly used in Tokah (1998), the Rosh Hashanah apple and honey set, a joyful miniature sculpture of a figure dancing holding the honey container that expresses the happiness of the New Year with its hopes and aspirations.
