His interest in wood-crafted Judaica led him to David Moss and together they began to collaborate on an idea for a “shtender” -- a lecturn-type stand that Jewish men often use to rest their books while studying or praying. David and Noah developed the concept of uniting many different pieces of Judaica into one central furnishing which, together, would fuse the representations of prayer, study (as represented by the shtender) and observance (as represented by the ritual objects contained within.) This model became the Tree of Life Shtender. |
