It is the first study to document the synagogues with both scholarly depth and photographic excellence. In the extraordinary variety and the intimcy and richness of their detail, the pictures reveal how the world's synagogues form what Folberg has called "a crown for the Jewish people."NOTES: Purchased from the Amazon MarketPlace. SUBTITLE: Historic Synagogues of the World

Words can’t articulate the beauty of the photographs within the 176 pages. The book contains incredibly stunning and magnificent photographs of synagogues of the world, every part of the world, from the U.S. and Canada, to cities in Europe and cities in Northern and Eastern Europe, and it includes synagogues in the Caribbean and in India, also several in Uzbekistan and in Morocco and other locations worldwide, In fact, while reading the book today (the entire book, more than once), I was surprised to see a photograph of the interior of Congregation Mikveh Israel on page 89. It is located in Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A. I have my own photographs of that synagogue interior and exterior, and you can see an interior capture I took, just below this paragraph.

Folberg’s dedication to capturing the essence of the synagogues of the world is masterful. ( )
