Shema Israel Parochet – Silver

A Shema Israel Parochet is a beautifully embroidered Torah Ark curtain (also known as paroches or Aron Kodesh curtain) that hangs in front of the doors of the Holy Ark. It is based on the parochet in the ancient Temple that separated the Holy from the Holy of Holies. This extra layer of respect and modesty shields the sacred Sifrei Torah from direct view while enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of the synagogue. Our version features the profound words of Shema Israel embroidered in high-quality silver thread on premium velvet.

This Shema Israel Parochet is custom-made to your exact required dimensions. The base price shown is for a standard 54″ wide x 72″ high Torah Ark curtain, but we can produce any size you need. It is available in a rich variety of luxurious velvet colors. Personalization with names, dates, or dedications is available at only $1.80 per letter, allowing you to create a meaningful and unique parochet for your synagogue or home.

Yes, this is a premium, high-quality, and mehudar Torah Ark curtain. It is artistically hand-embroidered on the finest velvet using superior materials and skilled craftsmanship. Every detail meets the highest standards of beauty and durability expected in Jewish ritual objects, making it suitable for both everyday use and High Holiday services.

To ensure a perfect fit, measure the width from one end of the Aron Kodesh to the other and add a few extra inches for proper drape and overlap. For height, measure from the top hanging point (usually above the doors) down to about 3 inches above the floor so the parochet does not touch the ground.

Absolutely. This Shema Israel Parochet is ideal for High Holiday services as well as year-round use. It is crafted with the utmost respect for halacha and tradition, serving as a beautiful and appropriate covering for the Torah Ark in any Orthodox, Conservative, or traditional synagogue setting. The elegant silver embroidery of the Shema enhances the kedushah of the space.

To maintain its beauty and longevity, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. When not in use, store the parochet folded gently in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. With proper care, this high-quality velvet parochet will remain a cherished part of your synagogue for many years.
