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.
