Bima Chairs
Bima chairs are a standard fixture. And when a bris (circumcision ceremony) is held in the synagogue, these chairs are used for the brit milah ceremony.
This is the first mitzvah of a boy’s life, so let us celebrate the occasion by emphasizing it’s unique place in Judaism. In addition, these special chairs honor Elijah the prophet’s attendance at all brit milah ceremonies. These chairs will be an extraordinary addition to any bima, and can be enjoyed by everyone, all year long.
ZACHOR Chair
The Holocaust B’nai Mitzvah Project”, part of the Remember-Us.org project, was in part the inspiration for this memorial chair and its custom designed cover.
This design was custom made for a family’s donation to their synagogue bima, in honor of their grandchild’s b’nai mitzvah and in memory of a child from their family that was lost in the Holocaust.
The image of the butterfly is a nod to the poem by Pavel Friedman. The word zachor, remember, also leads us to reflect on all those children lost, who we now try to remember.
