In the late 1950s, Marc Chagall was commissioned to create stained-glass windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, located in the Judean Hills of Jerusalem.

Under Chagall's supervision, these sketches were transformed into lithographs at the Mourlot studio in Paris and printed in 1962.
