This piece, for the sanctuary of Temple Emanu-el, in San Diego, was fabricated from Fischer opal, streaky glass and dichroic glass.  The inscription, at center, translates:  "God was in this place and I did not know it."  The text of Jacob's life, both before and after his famous dream is hand painted and fired onto white opal glass, surrounding the central image of the ladder.   Columns of dichroic, saw-cut,  birds swirl up and down the ladders at the edges of the composition.
