The "Ardon Windows" in the Jewish National and University Library.

Mordecai Ardon (Hebrew: מרדכי ארדון‎, July 13, 1896 – June 18, 1992), considered one of Israel's greatest painters.

Ardon was born in Tuchów, Galicia (then Austria-Hungary, now Poland), and immigrated to the then British Mandate of Palestine (later Israel) in 1933. One of his most famous creations are the Ardon Windows, a set of large stained-glass windows displayed prominently in the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem, incorporating visual elements from the Kabbalah.
