An incursion into the heart of the Reform Jewish community and a new musical and cultural tradition. The architectural and aesthetic value of Temple Emanu-El-Beth-Sholom is remarkable for its modern composition, which subtly recalls the neo-Byzantine architecture of the original temple, destroyed by fire in 1957. Its limited palette of noble materials reflects Jewish traditions of non-figurative ornamentation.
