  5. I wasn't expecting a rosette. But it's beautiful. I'm curious about the inscription above the arch. Hope
    Dina will help us out. A wonderful building.

  8. La vue d'ensemble en particulier celle du bas est jolie. On ne voit pas beaucoup de synagogue pourtant les juifs que j'ai croise etaient tres croyants.

  10. Except for the Torah at the top, who would know that the building is a temple? The religion is not assimilated but the architecture is to a great extent.

  11. As already noted, this has so many similarities to a Christian church, except with some striking differences. I wonder what the rose window looks like from inside?

  12. My first impression was that it was an old Christain church too. I like the framing you used and clouds behind it.

  20. A very attractive building. Oops! I asked you a question but then read the answer in yesterday's post before writing in the word verification. (Sometimes I think before I act.)

  22. Wow!
    Sorry I am late in arriving.
    On the Torah scroll is written the Bible quotation "This is the Torah which God gave to Moses."
    And below it: "And you shall love your neighbor as yourself."
