Zabłudów Synagogue: Built in the 17th century, Poland. The wooden synagogue was burned in 1941 by the Nazis.
Leo_Dekalb says I saw a cool exhibit a while back called the lost synagogues of europe composed of this sort of thing. It was excellent
melafephoner says This was probably the inspiration for the Yiddish book center in Amherst Massachusetts https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:National_Yiddish_Book_Center,_Amherst_MA.jpg
Juno808 says It feels like somewhere you’d go if you’d been accused of something and you had to face the council. Like an ominous courthouse
turquoise_amethyst says What a beautiful synagogue, I hope someone builds an (almost) exact replica of it one day. On a side note, how does a wooden structure last so long? Was it still made of OG wood in the 40s, or only the beams?
