And I Shall Dwell Among Them: Historical Synagogues Of The World / For nearly 2,000 years, from the year A.D. 70 until the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people were without a homeland. But wherever they wandered during the great diaspora, the tradition of building synagogues continued. This magnificent book preserves the irreplaceable spiritual, architectural, and cultural significance of these structures in nearly 200 striking color photos of synagogues all over the world. Traveling exhibition.

Notes

Photographer Folberg traveled the world for three years visiting Jewish communities and photographing both grand-scale and modest synagogues. His rich color images are grouped in chapters according to region the Mediterranean, Asia, the Americas and the Caribbean, northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Israel and are accompanied by his account of the making of the photographs. Augmenting the visual display is an essay (by Yom Tov Assis, a scholar affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) which focuses on the social and cultural history of the Jews. The presentation is lavish in a 10x12.5" format. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
