Today was an exhilarating and glorious day. Today the silk dupioni ark curtain, "Enlightenment" was installed at Temple B'Nai Israel in Easton MD. My heart swelled with pride as I hung it in the ark - where the torahs are kept. It is such an honor to have my work as the centerpiece for this synagogue's most precious possessions.

| This is the original ark curtain that is 60 years old. It is navy velvet with lots of stitching with metallic thread. The fringe is also metallic. The handwork is amazing. |
