      <image:title>ceremonial objects - Passover Seder Plate</image:title>
      <image:caption>The first scene of the Passover Tray depicts the night, made of a dark shell, the Exodus from Egypt began. On the opposite panel, their arrival to Jerusalem forty years later is represented under a sunny abalone shell sky. This metaphor relates to darkness as slavery and light as freedom.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Barefoot men dressed in ivory recycled from vintage piano keys carry the Holy Ark, made exactly as described in the old scriptures. The High Priest dressed in blue and argeman wears twelve tiny gem stones on his chest.  The story of Passover is told through Lorelei and Alex's inlays as if you were part of the Exodus taking shots on your phone and posting them to social media.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ceremonial objects - Passover Plate Detail</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each inlaid panel is a miniature. Cutting the tiny pieces that make this composition is painstaking. Diminutive beards, faces and hands are cut creating each character's component. To further understand the depth of this work it is important to pay attention to the mixing of time; a family coming from the Shteitel offered a ride to a biblical figure on their way to the golden city of Jerusalem.</image:caption>

      <image:title>synagogue design - SEPHARDIC TORAH CASE</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are proud to have added to our artistic repertoire this beautiful Torah Case. Inspired by the memories of their dear parents, our clients presented us with the opportunity of creating the most beautiful Sephardi Torah Tik reminiscent of their family life in old world Aleppo. If you are looking to honor your heritage we will create a unique Sefer Torah to pass on from generation to generation inspiring your family and the entire community. For detailed images of this particular Torah Tik visit our Sephardic Torah Cases dedicated section. The mechanism is made of modern components that facilitate the reading of the Torah during services. When opening the Torah Case a carved dedication in English and Hebrew appears on the inner part of the Crown. Sometimes projects don’t require fancy technologies but simply to emanate from the bottom of our hearts. Studio Gruss is located in Brooklyn, NY. We ship and install our work all over the country and overseas. Contact us with your next project</image:caption>
