arks
Torah scroll cabinets
Arks is the plural of ark, a large vessel or container for preservation.
The most famous is Noah's Ark from the Bible, built to save animals from the flood.
By extension, arks are protective enclosures: the Ark of the Covenant held sacred tablets, and a synagogue's ark houses Torah scrolls.
The arks floated downriver carrying settlers' belongings.
