The concept in the back of the monumental structure located at the
IDF officers school is based on receipt of the Torah by Moses on
Mount Sinai. Moses received his appointment at the location of the
burning bush. At the ceremony revealing their officer rank on the
parade ground, the cadets receive and agree to lead their soldiers
with the burning bush in the background, connecting them with the
Godly appointment. The biblical verse “and the bush was blazing,
yet it was not consumed” symbolizes the appointment and
constitutes the source of inspiration for the structure design
which through flames of concrete encompass the officer in the fire
of appointment during prayer. The prayer hall is built of 24
concrete flames installed on a concrete skeleton with steel screws
and poles created in an industrial and controlled process,
millimeter precise. Each flame is connected by two steel poles at
the top and 2 anchor points at the bottom locked in place by
screws. Each group of three flames was stabilized by a horizontal
iron pole. The walls of the hall were stabilized in the same way.
“And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from
end to end…” The Book of Exodus chapter 26 verse 28. The whole
compound is interwoven with a forest of olive trees as the sword is
interwoven in the officer pin, the olive branch now entwining the
flame of appointment.
