Torah on Bimah at Golden Hour in inside a timber synagogue hall in Lincoln Park, Chicago

Torah on Bimah at Golden Hour

by Randall Wise

Warm sunlight streams through tall windows, casting deep amber pools across the polished timber floor of the Lincoln Park synagogue hall. The bimah platform rises in the center, its dark wood silhouette framed against the bright, setting sun. An open Torah scroll rests on the reading desk, its parchment pages glowing faintly where the light touches them. Lamplight begins to settle in the corners, softening the shadows around the heavy wooden beams. Early spring air is invisible, but the light angle suggests the season's transition. The scroll's velvet cover drapes over the edge, catching a sharp edge of gold thread that glints against the dimming room.
