The "Sky-Torah," was handwritten according by a professional Jewish Scribe for the airline. Each Torah scroll takes an entire year to complete and The Torah scroll on a plane was the idea of Rabbi Shlomo Elharar, Chief Rabbi of Colombia, South America. The Torah is only on one of the planes so far. Usrair Airlines is the second largest airline in Israel and flies between Israel and New York, the Mediterranean and Europe, as well as domesticly.

Filed under: Decor

JUXTAPOSED: Religion is a bookshelf that is tailored to its contents, making it more of an art installation than just a storage device. It is the first in a series of "curated bookshelves," where the books that it is designed to hold are included with it. Given that the shelf is named Religion, it is not surprising that the texts here are religious ones. They include: the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Qur'an, Confucius' Analects, the Tao Te Ching, the Torah and the Discourses of the Buddha. The shelf will have a limited production of 50 pieces. Price: $2,500.
