The original New Church Road shul was adorned with 14 stained glass windows. Twelve of the windows contained representations of  the emblems of the twelve tribes of Israel. The other two windows contained the Luchot HaBrit (Tablets of Stone with the Ten Commandments )and a Sefer Torah (Five books of Moses). Below are windows containing the emblems of the Twelve Tribes.
