Temple Sholom, Reform Jewish synagogue in Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois, US
The Temple Sholom building displays Byzantine Revival and Moorish Revival architecture, featuring stained glass windows that illuminate the 1,350-seat sanctuary through a barrel-vaulted ceiling.
Founded in 1867 and relocated to its current structure in 1928, Temple Sholom stands among the oldest Jewish congregations in Chicago with over 1,100 member families.
The synagogue houses the Rabbi Frederick C. Schwartz Library containing 8,000 books and the Mendelson Gallery displaying Jewish artwork collections.
The sanctuary's western wall opens into a social hall on wheels, allowing the space to double in size for large gatherings and community events.
The synagogue features stained glass windows by Israeli artist Nehemia Azaz depicting biblical texts, and Leon Golub's only work in this medium portraying Joseph's life.
