DESCRIPTION

Covering 2500 years, here are the impressions of synagogue worshipers and visitors, Jews and non-Jews, told in their own words, from Jeremiah to George Washington, Liszt, and Yossele Rosenblatt, from the slums of Rio to the shtetls of Ukraine to the temple in Jerusalem. Here is the Jewish experience--tragic, comic, and inspiring by turns.

The term "synagogue" is used pretty loosely for the earliest period. Nevertheless the book collects a good array of primary texts.
