LOCATION
B'nai Keshet SynagogueMontclair, New Jersey, U.S.A.
PROJECT
"Niggun - A Song Without Words" - entryway, clerestory, and sanctuary windows.(Windows: Handmade and textured glass with prisms, bevels and lenses. Entryway: Sandblasted glass with gold and copper leaf work.)
"B'nai Keshet is never the same. Colored light streams in, patterns form on the walls, glass takes on a sudden glow - and in a moment, all the color, patterns and glow have disappeared or changed with the movement of the sun or a cloud.
Though incredibly dynamic, the words that are most often used to describe B'nai Keshet are 'clam and peaceful'. Sarah's windows are dynamic because light is never still. Becoming aware of the motion of light, like becoming aware of the motion of breath, creates a stillness of the spirit. The windows possess a beauty that helps us to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. There is a strength to their geometric structure which invites our own quiet. And there is a playfulness to the widows which makes us want to sing in response."
