The name Jacob is illustrated by the image of the Ladder which appeared in Jacob's dream in the Torah portion Vayetzei. In that dream, a stairway was set on the ground and its top reached to the sky. In the moon and the night sky appears the name Israel, the name given to Jacob by G-d. Inside the ladder a poem by Jessie Sampter entitled Alone with Thee: Each one of us alone with G-d; Behind the mask of face and deed; Each wrestles with an angel.

Alongside, some ritual objects of the Jewish life cycle as well as the beginning quote from isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine, for your light has dawned; the Presence of the Lord has shown upon you!
