Special lead Torah Ark
made in Vienna in 1840,
when lead was in greater

demand and more
valuable than silver.
The ark is very small –

Width: 28 cm
Height: 42 cm
Depth: only 5 cm
No one knows what
Torah scroll is suitable
for such a Torah Ark,
because the space for
holding it is only 5 cm.
But when I obtained
it, I knew that it was
precisely suited for
the Torah scroll of the
maggid of Międzyrzecz,
whom I wrote about in
the previous book.
I prepared the parochet
at the beit midrash in
Beita Illit as an example
of this Torah Ark.
