In the lintel's center is a depiction of the two tablets symbolizing the Decalogue (the ten commandments) and below it the Hebrew saying, "Know before Whom you are standing," a phrase that often appears in synagogues on the ark lintel or above the reader's lectern." www.loc.gov/exhibits/haventohome/haven-haven.html#obj11; Digital archive (images, text, and history) by David Brenner: (accessible onsite); "Over 7000 images related directly or indirectly to Congregation Shaarai Shomayim in Lancaster Pennsylvania.
