Traveling Exhibition: "Wooden Synagogues: A Lost World Revisited"Magnificent Polish 18th century wooden synagogues were destroyed during the Nazi invasion of World War II, but fortunately they live on in the form of architectural drawings and photos. This traveling exhibition draws on the historic documentation available and scale models built by students to show the architectural significance of the wooden synagogues and the nearly lost cultural heritage of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. The exhibition is currently at the National Yiddish Book Center until March 2006. Read more. With funding from the Massachusetts Foundation for Humanities, we have organized the exhibition with lectures and events at the Vilna Shul, the oldest existing synagogue in Boston (opening spring 2005).
