Chagall Windows, Stained glass masterworks in Ein Karem Hospital, Israel

The twelve stained glass windows measure 11 feet tall and 8 feet wide, displaying different colors that represent each tribe of Israel.

Marc Chagall completed these windows in 1961, and they were exhibited at the Louvre and MOMA before their installation at Hadassah Medical Center.

The windows incorporate biblical texts from Jacob's blessings to his sons and Moses's blessings to the tribes of Israel into their design.

Free guided tours in multiple languages operate during specific hours, with public buses 12, 19, and 27 connecting to Ein Karem from Jerusalem.

During the 1967 Six-Day War, four windows sustained damage, and Chagall deliberately left a small mark on the Issachar window during repairs.
