And I Shall Dwell Among Them: Historic Synagogues of the World

For nearly two millennia, from the year 70 until 1948 and the founding of Israel, the Jewish people were without a homeland. But wherever they wandered in the great Diaspora, the tradition of building synagogues continued, not only as a refuge for their beliefs but as a testament to their strength and their accomplishments as a people. And I Shall Dwell Among Them: Historic Synagogues of the World preserves the irreplaceable spiritual, architectural, and cultural significance of these structures. It is the first study to document the synagogues with both scholarly depth and photographic excellence. Photographer Neil Folberg, a former student of Ansel Adams, lives with his family in Jerusalem.
