Description

File includes print out from online catalog with image and description. Artist's statement: "The Khalah on our Shabbat table is a replacement to the offerings made by the priests on the Temple four corners altar. The salt that we spread on the Khalah is a way to remember the act of salting the offerings as they were salted at the Temple. The shape of the container is like a four cornered altar to bring the altar onto our table."
