the Holy Ark (in the synagogue)

A special ark at the eastern front of the synagogue in which the Torah scrolls are kept (originally: the Ark of the Covenant).

("And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the Lord: Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; you need not carry it on your shoulders any longer. Now serve the Lord your God and His people Israel" – II Chronicles 35:3 (King Josiah to the Levites), and likewise: "Only the Holy Ark and two chairs and a menorah and a table... the sound of song and prayer upon it" – Y. Burla / Longings, 225)
