Beschreibung:
- An engaging exploration of synagogues, their history and decoration, representing an illuminating record of the cultural and artistic history of the Jewish people- Explores the symbolic and practical significance of the synagogue as a focal point for the community as well as a spiritual centre- Meek examines the fascinating story of the building central to every Jewish community from its origins in the Tabernacle, through the exuberant Venetian synagogues of the Renaissance, to the often stark simplicity of modern buildings- A spirited narrative shows the ways in which a vast array of cultural influences have merged to produce a rich and coherent heritage in the fields of architecture and decoration
