The ex libris depicts the old city of Jerusalem in the center, surrounded by walls, with dome of the rock in the middle. Above the dome there are two hands of the priestly blessing. Below Jerusalem there some books, an inkstand and a quill-pen. At the right a prayer shall is hanged as a curtain, at the left side a palm tree is seen. All the elements are enclosed within a decorative frame.
