The prayer hall is spanned by a barrel vault. The vault is framed by a decorative band on its perimeter (seen mainly from the women’s gallery). Stylized trees are grow from the band above each window. The central part of the vault is decorated with blue circles with radiating branches and leaves. In each circle, a large Magen David is depicted, surrounded by six-pointed stars. The section of the vault above the western women’s gallery is not decorated.
