Synagogues: Past & Present
Brooklyn, New York, is a central location on the map of Jewish American migration. At its height in the 1950s, the borough’s Jewish population numbered more than a million. Photographer Thomas Roma has spent years photographing these houses of worship—of every denomination. But he found himself particularly drawn to synagogues for the stories the buildings seemed to tell about their neighborhood’s and congregation’s past, present, and future. He’s now collected his beautiful, large-scale, black-and-white photographs of these places in a book titled On Three Pillars: Torah, Worship, and the Practice of Loving Kindness. [via link]
