Here is a comment from a history of the site when it was a synagogue:

“During World War 2, the synagogue miraculously escaped major damage but it was reconsecrated in 1951 after repairs were completed.”
It was closed and sold in 1975.

I wonder if the balcony is the former women’s balcony when the mosque was a synagogue.

Very intesting to read. I learnt so much about the mosque and the immigrants of the past days. My congratulations to the auther and the photographer.

This article and these photograph deserve to be on the front pages of our national newspapers this week. Thank you *so* much Delwar and Bob and the Mosque (via the GA here).
The celebratory occasion is especially poignant this week-end.
I love the narrative, powerful and simply told, and the visual visit – very inclusive. Reading this has lifted my spirit, and heart today.

Hi Delwar

Beautiful, atmospheric and interesting historical perspective on quite radical changes over what is a relatively short period of time. Love the pictures.

What I’m left with is, as ever ‘Where are the women?’
