1959年，猶太藝術家馬克·夏卡爾受委託為哈達薩-希伯來大學醫學中心（現名為阿貝爾猶太教堂）創作一扇精美的彩色玻璃窗。
「我工作的時候，總感覺父母在看著我；在他們身後，是猶太人，是數百萬消失的猶太人，是昨天的，也是一千年前的，」夏卡爾說。
雖然他最初只被要求製作一兩扇窗，但夏卡爾最終向哈達薩捐贈了12扇彩色玻璃窗，分別代表以色列的十二個支派。這組名為「耶路撒冷之窗」的玻璃窗於1962年哈達薩成立五十週年慶典之際正式落成。
時任哈達薩全國主席米里亞姆·弗羅因德在收到前總統約翰·F·肯尼迪的來信時，稱讚這些精美的圖案“非凡卓越”：
「這些玻璃窗融合了古老而高貴的歷史與現代藝術天才的靈感，」肯尼迪寫道。
1985年3月28日，出生於白俄羅斯的馬克·夏卡爾（原名莫伊舍·扎哈羅維奇·夏加洛夫）逝世，享年97歲。

In 1959, Jewish artist Marc Chagall was commissioned to create a stunning stained glass window for Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Centre’s synagogue, now called the Abbell Synagogue.
“All the time I was working, I felt my mother and father looking over my shoulder; and behind them were Jews, millions of other vanished Jews, of yesterday and a thousand years ago,” said Chagall.
Though he was asked to make one or two panels, Chagall donated 12 stained glass-windows, representing the twelve tribes, to Hadassah. The “Jerusalem Windows” were dedicated to the synagogue in 1962 as part of Hadassah’s Golden Anniversary Celebration.
Writing to Miriam Freund, Hadassah’s national president at the time, former president John F. Kennedy called the intricate images “extraordinary:”
“The inspiration of an ancient and noble history and the inspiration of modern artistic genius are combined in these windows,” Kennedy wrote.
#onthisday in 1985 (March 28) Marc Chagall, born Moishe Zakharovitch Chagalov in Belarus, died at the age of 97.
