Don't get me talkin' about those that paint brick. Ugh!
A building with lots of stories to tell us about. ;-)
I agree, if these walls could talk...
I love this synagogue- something real about the building, and I like the blue!

So it has somewhat of a spiritual history.
never would have guessed it was a church?!! ( ;
Unique. Looks more like a lodge though.
betsy
A lot of history in those walls!
Now that is blue, could not miss that place.
That's interesting about the non-segregated worship. Do you know if that was the case since the 1940s? If so, makes it even more unusual. And that blue is my idea of the blue of Israel--guess that was their thought as well!
My post is up too if you want to go to Moscow. Mr. Linky was not cooperating. Summit Musings
It is an unusual little building.
That an amazing color choice.
Don't much like the blue color but this is a fascinating congregation. They are essentially "orthodox" but not entirely for women are treated as equals in all respects. They are also unaffiliated with any broader Jewish organization such as Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, etc. Most interesting!
Good to hear that all join together and worship.
The colour is lovely but bricks are nice too...
If these bricks are made of soft clay (as many Toronto-area buildings in the 1890s were), it was likely painted to preserve the bricks. I bet this blue is very similar to the blue in the Israeli flag.
Wonder if the equality of seating arrangements was in practice back in 1890 Pat..would be wonderful to think so.
An amazing building, so different from anything alike I have ever seen!
A blue synagogue. That has to be a first. I found the history to be so interesting, Thanks for sharing, genie
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing it in InSPIREd Sunday.
