This question as written is ambiguous and merits two distinct answers.
1) The Ark referring to Noah's Ark: The symbolism of Noah's Ark is that God provided a mechanism by which righteousness could be spared amidst all of the trauma and Horror in the world. Noah was given, by way of the Ark, a method to rebuild humanity closer to the Divine Image. He was not entirely successful in that mission, but his salvation marks that there is something in humanity worth saving.
2) The Ark referring to the Box-Like Structure in a Synagogue: The Ark is placed in the front of a synagogue, so that the congregation is facing it while praying. The Torah is kept in there. The purpose of all of this is to represent Mt. Sinai, more specifically the Revelation at Mt. Sinai. Jews ascend to the Ark and withdraw Torah Scrolls in a renewing enjoyment of receiving the Divine Word. In a certain way, the Jews are reliving again and again what is in their mind "the Best Day of History". Also, it acknowledges the Divine Origin of the Law as opposed to it being a man-made institution.
