"Muslim Jon Taleb discovered it [a Jewish ark] in an antiques store in Yucca Valley.
Her Jewish friends, Margie and Kevin Akin, bought and transported the ark to Riverside.
Their Jewish friends knew that Rabbi Schmuel Fuss' congregation needed an ark.
Inez and Peter Trupp asked their Mormon neighbors if their son [Andrew Malone] was looking for a service project.
He was.
That's how the mysterious ark came to be restored," writes Laurie Lucas (Press Enterprise) in an article titled Teamwork leads to recovery of holy Jewish cabinet.
"What I find so beautiful is that we're from the same God, the same universe," Rabbi Schmuel Fuss said. "We all came together with total respect."
