Which way dose the ark face?

In a synagogue the holy Ark is always in front of the sanctuary - so that everybody faces the ark while praying. It is considered impolite the turn ones back to the ark which houses the holy Torah scrolls. In the USA the ark will be in the East, as Jews pray facing Israel and Jerusalem. (In Jerusalem they pray facing the Temple Mount.)

Answer 2

Throughout the world, the Holy Ark in every synagogue is positioned such that the worshipers, as they face the Ark, will be facing Jerusalem. We always face Jerusalem in prayer (Talmud, Berakhot 30a), because God's presence dwelt there (1 Kings ch.8).

Jerusalem is the center of Judaism. It is important to Jews because it was chosen by God (Zechariah 3:2). It was the site of the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, in Genesis ch.22) and was later the seat of the Davidic Kings, when King David, Israel's greatest king, founded the dynasty that ruled Judah for much of its history, making Jerusalem the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel during his reign and that of his son, King Solomon.

Most importantly, it was the location of the First and Second Temples, where offerings were made to God and where His presence dwelt in the Holy of Holies (1 Kings ch.8) and was manifested in a number of miracles (Mishna, Avot ch.5).

Did Noah and his family left the ark on Mount Horeb?

The book of Genesis didn't indicate where Noah and his family left the ark. It just indicated that the ark settled on a mountain in the Ararat range. A popular Christian belief has tended towards the actual Mount Ararat within the Ararat range. According to the Qu'ran, the particular mountain top was Mount Judi. In between these two longstanding suggestions has been a range of possibilities in term of final resting place. But among those possibilities, Mount Horeb though considered most holy hasn't tended to number in the final pool. In fact, scholars still aren't sure exactly where this mountain of God was located.

What kind of wood can I use to build a bakery table?

Any kind. But there are a lot of "bad" choices. Use a close-grained hardwood like maple. There are other woods that might work, but they get really expensive. Maple isn't cheap, but hard rock maple is a superb wood for this application. Red oak might work well, too. You'll have some choices as regards "regular" or end grain or side grain when you construct the table. If you haven't tackled any "good sized" projects in wood, this probably isn't a "starter" project. The wood will have to be planed very cleanly to get the best possible finish. This is key. A joiner is not cheap, and the required precision almost precludes a hand planer. If you have a local woodworker's supply store, visit them. If not, hit the library and see if there are any projects like this in the back issues of any of the woodworker's magazines. Certainly you have the web. Good luck.
