      Artist Finishes Harp Meant for Temple


      Micha and Shoshana Harari, artists specializing in stringed instruments, have completed a harp designed for use in the third Temple.  The harp was commissioned by the Temple Institute, an organization dedicated to teaching about the Temple and constructing vessels for use in Temple service.

      The harp is 1.7 meters tall, weighs 40 kilograms, has 10 strings, and cost $25,000 to build.  An anonymous donor funded the cost of construction.
