    Julia Dault National Post Thursday, February 03

    Sacred sights: Robert Burley straddles the line between documentary and art with his collection of photographs of Toronto synagogues 'that were - and still are - so important to the Jewish community' Julia Dault National Post Thursday, February 03, 2005 INSTRUMENTS OF FAITH: TORONTO'S FIRST SYNAGOGUES Robert Burley The Eric Arthur Gallery to May 21 - - - In 2002, while Robert Burley's eldest son was studying the Torah and readying himself for his bar mitzvah, his father was embarking on his own mitzvah of sorts. Burley wanted to connect with his son's coming-of-age ceremony, so he started photographing downtown synagogues in an effort to learn even more about Judaism and the history of Toronto's Jewish community. (His interest in the faith and culture began in 1989, after he fell in love with his wife and converted to the religion.) Burley has since turned his scholarship into an exhibition made up of more than 20 images of the First Narayever, the Kiever, Knesseth Israel, Anshei Minsk, the Shaarei Tzedec and the Beaches Hebrew Institute; all are synagogues built by immigrant communities before 1940, and all still function today as sites of worship. "They were built with limited funds during fairly uncertain social and political times," says Burley. "They are small, intimate buildings that were -- and still are -- so important to the Jewish community." Using a panoramic camera borrowed from his friend and fellow photographer Geoffrey James as well as his own four by five, Burley fit himself into the small, holy spaces, capturing the sanctity of the bimah (reading platform), arks (or Aron Kodesh) and the Stars of David (Magen David) in both stark black and white and deep, brilliant colour.

    An Examination of Toronto Synagogue Architecture, 1897-1937

    Sharon Graham An Examination of Toronto Synagogue Architecture, 1897-1937 ynagogue architecture often acts as a unique element w ithin Sa city's architectural landsca pe. Toronto's pre-1937 syna­ gogues appea r to have copied each other styli sti ca ll y, creating a unique symbol of Judaism in the city (1937 marks the opening of the third Holy Bl ossom Temple and the beginning of the Jewish community's move away from the downtown core). On the whole, synagogue architecture in Toronto was very conserva ti ve, echoing trends that had lost their favour in other North Ameri­ ca n cities. Toronto congregations appeared to have found one style of building and they never strayed fro m it. Fig . 1. Ex terior. Holy Blossom Synagogue, Bond Street. John Wilson Siddall, architect. 1897. Three styli sti c groups of Toronto's pre-1 937 synagogues ca n {photo Sha ron Graham . 2000) be identified . The first group fea tures sma ll , hall-like buildings with plain ex teri ors and, due to their unremarkable architecture, they will not be d iscussed in this pape r. Other major synagogues, ori ginally built as churches and later bought by the Jewish com­ munity, are the second kind of buildings in Toronto, and they w ill not be discussed in this paper either. ' Holy Bl ossom on Bond Street (1897), Goel Tzedec (1907) and Beth Jacob (1922), Anshe Ki ev (1927) and Anshei Minsk (1 930) were substantial congrega­ ti ons w hose buildings were constructed o ri ginall y as syna­ gogues, and comprise the co ll ecti on of buildings that l will be examining.
