Print based on the design for the Torah Ark of the Synagogue (Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek) in Chester, CT. The synagogue was designed by LeWitt and is considered to be the only public building designed by the artist. The print references the 6-pointed star, a common motif in LeWitt's work; and also the Star of David. This linocut features more neon colors associated with his later work.
