Chagall Windows

Today we visited the Chagall windows in the Synagogue of the Hadassah University Hospital. They were beautiful. When we were there we learned that Chagall and his assistant, Charles Marq, made the beautiful windows. They worked on the project for two years. Marq developed a special process, which allowed Chagall to use three colors on a single peace of glass, rather than having one color on each peace of glass. The Windows represents the 12 sons of the Patriarch Jacob, which became the Twelve Tribes of Israel, Reuben, Asher, Benjamin, Dan, Gad, Judah, Joseph, Zebulon, Simeon, Levi, Naphtali, and Issachar.
