In 1962 a synagogue was inaugurated in Ein Kerem’s Hadassah University Medical Center, which is considered to be one of the most famous in Jerusalem. This is, among other things, because of the 3 meters high stained glass windows that it features, which were created by the famous Jewish artist Marc Chagall. These breathtaking stained glass windows were created in Marc Chagall’s workshop in France and they took about two years to be completed. The scenes that appear on the stained glass windows present an important Biblical event: the blessing given by Jacob to the twelve tribes of Israel. These stained glass windows, set in the synagogue’s reddish Jerusalem stone, were hit and damaged during a Jordanian bombardment in the Six Days War and they were renovated by Marc Chagall a year later. These stained glass windows also appeared on a set of postal stamps produced by Israel’s Post Office. Access to the synagogue through the Hadassah University Medical Center’s main entrance.
