The large circular window above the Ark was replaced in 1913. This new design was dedicated to the memory of Mrs Ezra Altaras. The main feature of the window is the Menorah. This represents the seven-branched candlestick which stood in the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem and represents the seven days of creation.
