  • Heinrich Frauberger: on the Construction and Embellishment of Old Synagogues*
    Heinrich Frauberger: On the construction and embellishment of old synagogues* Summary and Analysis by Nisya Allovi, Turkish Jewish Museum Over the past few decades Jewish congregations have grown continuously in larger and medium-sized cities. Existing synagogues are not sufficient in size and extensions are in most cases impossible due to the lack of space. Due to the expansion of cities and the high price of larger sites in central locations, the building of a new, single, large synagogue is impractical; occasionally the different religious service of Orthodox Jews and liberal congregations, makes the building of two separate houses of God preferable. As a result, many new synagogues, in some towns several of them have recently been built, and every year competitions are held for the construction of new ones. As could be seen a little while ago with the competition for the building of a new synagogue in Düsseldorf, these benefit from the enthusiastic participation of architects. Unfortunately, these calls for tenders generally produce unsatisfactory results. On the one hand, the local councils are uncertain when defining requirements; on the other hand, the architects have no knowledge of how religious practice takes place and how it has evolved. They are completely unprepared for this task. In addition, it is difficult to find documentation with detailed preliminary studies. For a few years it has been possible to buy postcards of a series of new synagogues, showing both exterior and interior views. On this script he studied on 44 different images of the synagogues. With regard to technical aspects, the chapter provides some very usable suggestions and focuses on templates with regard to the decorative elements.

The vision of the late founder, Prof. Bezalel Narkiss, came to its realization and the Index of Jewish Art (named after him) is available to all. It can be accessed on the Center’s webpage (http://cja.huji.ac.il/browser.php) and includes currently 193,000 scanned images. The Index is an iconographical database, which offers the widest representation of Jewish iconography in all media: Ancient art, Hebrew illuminated manuscripts, ritual objects, architecture, funeral monuments, and modern art. The documentation, gathered by the CJA researchers over 37 years and presented in the Index, is a unique source of information on artifacts and monuments, that may have disappeared or changed beyond recognition.
