Editing Synagogue architecture (section)

=== Interior decoration ===
There are but few emblems that may be used that are characteristically Jewish; the Star of David, the lion of Judah, and flower and fruit forms alone are generally allowable in [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] synagogues. The [[Sanctuary lamp|ner tamid]] hangs in front of the Ark; the tables of the Law surmount it. The seven-branched candlestick, or [[Menorah (Temple)|menorah]], may be placed at the sides. Occasionally the [[shofar]], and even the [[lulav]], may be utilized in the design. Hebrew inscriptions are sparingly or seldom-used; stained-glass windows, at one time considered the special property of the Church, are now employed but figured subjects are not used.
