Adath Jeshurun of JassyThis former synagogue was built in 1903 for
Jews from the town of Iasi, Romania; the architect was Emery Roth, who
went on to build fancy apartment buildings like the San Remo and the Ritz
Tower. Later it was the Erste Warshawer (First Warsaw) Synagogue, for a
Polish congregation that organized in 1886. The interior featured two
galleries in the sanctuary and large bronze chandeliers. Since 1973
it's been artists' studios and residences. |
