The Sanctuary
|
Imagiine walking down the aisle in
a sanctuary that was commissioned as a music conservatory almost
100 years ago. The vaulted ceiling soars 36 feet above you, light
filters through beautiful stained glass windows, and massive chandeliers
cast a rich glow over your family and friends. Acknowledged to
be one of the most architecturally remarkable places of worship
in the New York metropolitan area, this historic site will leave
you – and your guests – breathless!
 |
History and heritage blend seamlessly
here, marrying the architectural richness of the Italian Renaissance
with beloved Jewish tradition. The Sanctuary, which was inspired
by the
16th century San Pietro in Perugia, has many extraordinary features
including exquisitely carved entrance
doors brought from Europe. The tapestry in front of the Torah
Ark is a reproduction of an original 17th century Venetian curtain;
the Ner Tamid (Eternal Light), from Padua Italy, is from the early
18th century. A symbol of Jewish continuity and hope, it represents
an inspiring link between the past and the future.
