 Meet the Artist

WHY WE LIKE OUR WINDOWS

Our beautiful Ascalon stained-glass windows were installed in 2004 and make our building seem even more like a colorful Jewish home than before. On a sunny morning, a spectrum of colors streams into the sanctuary from above, reminding us of the rich history they portray. And the windows above our main entrance symbolize what we value most -- Jewish Community and Jewish Worship -- even as you enter.

To help support our community, members can dedicate a window and have your name(s) added to the tasteful dedicatory wall display in the synagogue lobby (note: as of 6/1/2009 the display is being repaired; you can see current dedications below.) These beautiful windows may be dedicated by an individual or a family or group of friends*. The 27 windowpanes for the sanctuary are available for dedication for $18,000 each and the two larger windows above our main entrance doors are available for dedication for $36,000 each. To find out which windows are still available and discuss a payment plan, please contact Linda Eisinger, Executive Director.
