Moorish Design


     The Spanish Synagogue was built in the latter part of the last century in the Spanish/Moorish design. This building fell into disrepair during the Holocaust. Afterward, it became the storage facility for a large collection of torah curtains. The collection includes the largest such textile in the world, which was commissioned by five sons with a studio in Vienna at the turn of the century to honor their beloved parents.
