Inside the Temple Beth Israel Synagogue

A 1901 view of the interior of Temple Beth Israel shows the vaulted, horseshoe arched ceilings that were a popular feature of Moorish Revival, along with arched windows made with cathedral glass. Also featured is the parokhet, or curtain that hangs in front of the Torah scrolls, symbolizing the ancient Temple in Jerusalem, where Jewish life was once celebrated. | Source: Temple Beeth Israel Synagogue. June 5, 1901. 72-74-197.
