The ''parochet'' (Hebrew: פרוכת) (also paroches; from the Aramaic parokta meaning "curtain" or "screen" 〔Sonne Isaiah (1962) 'Synagogue' in The Interpreter's dictionary of the Bible vol 4, New York: Abingdon Press pp 476-491〕) is the curtain that covers the ''Aron Kodesh'' (Torah Ark) containing the ''Sifrei Torah'' (Torah scrolls) in a synagogue. The parochet symbolizes the curtain that covered the Ark of the Covenant, based on Exodus 40:21. "He brought the ark into the Tabernacle and placed the screening dividing curtain so that it formed a protective covering before the Ark..."〔(The Ark )〕 In some synagogues, the parochet which is used all year round is replaced during the High Holy Days with a white one. The term ''parochet'' is used in the Bible to describe the curtain that separated the ''Kodesh Hakodashim'' (Holy of Holies) from the main hall called "Hekhal" 〔Stinespring W. F. (1962) 'Temple, Jerusalem' in 'The interpreters Dictionary of the Bible' vol 4 p 536〕 of the Temple in Jerusalem. Its use in synagogues is a reference to the centrality of the Temple to Jewish worship. The U. Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art in Jerusalem, Israel, houses the oldest surviving parochet, dating to 1572.〔(Jewish Italian Heritage Lives On in Jerusalem )〕 ==Gallery== Image:BialyBimah.JPG|A parochet in the Bialystoker Synagogue File:Carpentras synagogue 03.jpg|White parochet used on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「parochet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
