Hand Carved Custom Prayer Stands for Synagogues
This reading stand, known as an amud or podium, was first commissioned for the Syrian Lebanese Synagogue of Brooklyn, NY, USA. This reading stand features hand carving, lathed columns, hand painted gold glaze, and bronze work. The doors open for further storage on the inside, as well as the top box. The podium was designed specifically for the needs of the commissioning synagogue. Contact us today to find out how you can have this prayer stand built for your synagogue or create a custom design to best suit your needs and style.

Custom projects are processed individually. Please contact us with as much information as you have, pictures, measurements, style, etc. We will then produce for you a detailed three dimensional computer rendering of the proposed furnishings. The renderings will help you, your committee, and donors actualize how the project will look in your space. It can also help greatly to raise additional funds and make your project a reality. We continue to revise the sketches according to your feedback until you are fully satisfied with the design and budget before we begin production.

Additional Information
Each product is crafted individually, by hand, with attention to detail. Our clients appreciate the work and service we provide. We follow all plans and requests down to scale and our clients delighted by the products they receive. In order for us to deliver the best quality product, we need to make decisions regarding some details during production. You are likely not going to receive the exact product in the photograph on the website. Because of the organic nature of other custom projects, such as carving or glass work, there is no way in describing the exact details in rendering in advance. The only decisions that we make are those that we believe will make the product either of higher quality, stronger, more functional, or aesthetically pleasing. As a client of any craftsman you are putting your confidence in their decisions.
