Temple Emanu-El, Reform synagogue on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, United States
The limestone building features a massive arch adorned with symbols of the twelve tribes of Israel and two lions resting on columns.
Founded in 1845 as New York City's first Reform congregation, Temple Emanu-El merged with Temple Beth-El in 1927 before moving to its current location.
The Bernard Museum of Judaica within the temple maintains over 1000 ceremonial objects that showcase Jewish religious and artistic traditions.
The synagogue welcomes visitors from Sunday through Thursday between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with prior confirmation recommended by calling the office.
The main sanctuary accommodates 2500 people and features an innovative buttress system that eliminates the need for supporting pillars inside the space.
