      Synagogue Dedicated at IDF Officers' School


      The IDF Officers' School, Bahad 1, dedicated a new synagogue this week at an investment of NIS 5 million. The seats at the synagogue have a unique feature: special contraptions for holding one's weapon while praying.

      The synagogue is an architecturally impressive concrete structure reminiscent of the burning bush in which G-d appeared before Moshe (Moses). There are 208 seats in the men's section and 60 seats in the women's section.
