From Karen White-Dacy: On the lower level of the Sanctuary, did you know that there are seven sections of pews to remind us of God's perfect number? In Hebrew, seven is "shevah," from the root which means "to be full or satisfied or have enough of." These seven sections serve to mark the seven days of Creation. But, more importantly, they remind us of God's satisfaction with Creation and God's resting on the seventh day. They are also illustrative of God's admonition to set aside a seventh day of the week for Sabbath.
