The two stations where one washes one's hands before entering the prayer area, on the upper plaza, by the low wall that closes it: taps and natlot, the cups that pour the water. An echo of the Kiyor, the bronze basin where the kohanim washed their hands and feet before the service.

Project decisionChoice of the tour: their shape. No source found describes it; the tour makes each a round stone basin around a column carrying eight taps, the natlot set on the rim.
