The Art Deco Hebrew Mosaic stand over 25 feet tall & are located at the North end of a long terrazzo hallway, known as The Great Hall.
"Art deco mosaics at either end of the hall were added in 1993 as part of the church's centennial celebration. Each weighs about 3,000 pounds and consists of a quarter of a million tiles. The north mosaic depicts God as revealed in the Hebrew scriptures, and includes the burning bush, Torah scrolls, prophet's staff or crozier, and "Adonai," the Hebrew name for God used most often in Jewish worship."
