The upper section depicts Jacob's dream of a ladder with angels ascending and descending.
A furious Esau stands over Jacob with an upraised hand
The lower portion shows Jacob prospering in Laban's home.
He leaves, and in the lonliness of the night extracts a blessing from the angel.
In the base of the window, we find that this blessing earns Jacob the name, Israel.
We invite you to visit the building and view the windows.
