Ark. 1. The vessel in which
Noah supposedly saved his family and a breeding pair of each animal and bird species from the destruction of the great flood (Genesis 6. 1–9. 18).
2. The ‘ark of the
covenant’ (
aron ha-berith) was a container, made by God's command during the Wilderness wandering of Israel, to contain the tablets of the covenant.
3. The niche in the
synagogue in which the
Torah Scrolls (
Scrolls of the Law) are kept. It is located on the wall which faces towards the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and is considered the holiest part of the building. A
ner tamid (‘eternal light’) is kept burning in front of the Ark. In
Ashkenazi circles, the Ark is called the
aron or
aron kodesh (‘holy Ark’), and among the
Sephardim, it is known as the
heikhal (‘sanctuary’).
