Built in the Modern Romanesque-style popular in the late 1920s, Temple Emanu-El is one of the largest houses of worship in the world and the oldest Reform synagogue in New York City. The sanctuary features dazzling mosaics by noted muralist Hildreth Meière, an intricately painted ceiling, and towering stained glass windows. The building’s meticulous decorative restoration by Beyer Blinder Belle received the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award in 2007. As Sunday is during the festival of Sukkot, we will have our magnificent two-story succah in our sanctuary as well as a new exhibition in our Bernard Museum on the life of Theodore Hertzel and recently installed Tiffany windows. **Sunday Tours**: 11:30am & 1:30pm One-hour guided tours of the building will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
