features of a synagogue

• Ner Tamid- eternal flame, contantly lit to remind jews of god's onmipresense.

  "for the commandment is the lamp and the teaching is the light"
• Aron Hadokesh (the ark)- where the Torah scrolls are kept, shows how sacred the word of God is.

  "he brought the ark inside the tabernacle, just as the lord commanded moses" torah
• Seating arragements- orthodox sit together and reform sit apart.
