Question

Hello, is it permissible to make synagogue windows in the shape of a cross?

Answer

Hello,

There is no prohibition against making windows in a crisscross pattern, but some are cautious about this.

Ideally, care should be taken to ensure it does not resemble something that others might think is a cross.
