AAMI Funeral Home Directing Exam 2026 – Comprehensive Practice Test

The Ark, called Aron Kodesh in Hebrew, is the sacred cabinet in the synagogue that houses Torah scrolls when they’re not being read. It’s typically placed on the wall facing Jerusalem, and its doors are treated with special reverence; during services the Torah scrolls are taken out and returned to the Ark. The other terms refer to people or actions in Judaism rather than a physical cabinet: Avelim are mourners, to daven means to pray, and niftar means deceased. So the correct term for the sacred receptacle housing Torah scrolls is the Ark.
