I'm (finally) finishing the last group of the photos of our trip to Israel.

Katya in the available-darkened sanctuary of The Jerusalem Great Synagogue:

Two smaller stained-glass windows at the rear of the sanctuary.
Tree of Life (my take on it). The juxtaposition of hands with tree 
branches reminds me of things Rodin did:

And the Ten Commandments:

More information on the windows here:

This is the concert hall where the Jerusalem Symphony plays:

Art about music, just outside the hall's entrance:

The Sherover Theatre, which houses the concert hall, plus a large and a 
small drama theatre:

All with M8, 35/1.4 ASPH, first version.
