Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

New Preface by Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg.

Historical Essay by Yom Tov Assis.

For nearly two millennia, from 70 C.E. and the Roman conquest of Jerusalem to 1948 and the founding of Israel, the Jewish people were without a homeland. But in their wanderings the tradition of building synagogues continued, not only as a refuge for their beliefs but as a testament to their strength and their faith as a people. And I Shall Dwell Among Them preserves the irreplaceable spiritual, architectural and cultural significance of these structures. This is the first study to document the synagogues of the Jewish diaspora with both scholarly depth and photographic excellence. Images include synagogues from Morocco, Italy, Hungary, India, Spain, and elsewhere throughout the world where Jews settled -- many presented for the first time in photographs.
