This is the Brotherhood Synagogue on a Friday evening. It was built in 1859 as a Quaker meeting house, but later abandoned when they moved to another location (but why would they do that?). The building was due to be torn down in 1975, but saved at the last minute by the Brotherhood Synagogue and transformed into a temple. Thank you Brotherhood. And thanks to your sisters, too.
