Solomon Beit TeFillah
Familiar menorahs, sconces, and Jewish stars. Magnificent Ark doors, artwork and bima candelabras. True gifts from the Emerson Avenue Building fill the Solomon Beit Tefillah.
Donated by Ed Leisner, owner of Murray Ironworks and son of a Holocaust survivor, the room captures the feel of the old sanctuary and honors the artist’s father’s memory. Ed’s father had said the greatest mitzvah is to build a synagogue. We are honored Ed was willing to fulfill this deed for our Congregation.
With connected windows to the outside, 120 fixed seats sit in circular pew formation. On one side is a door to the Socoloff Music Room, offering the Cantor and Choir privacy and preparation for
services and rehearsal sessions. On the other side is a door to the Kantor Adult Library and Woods Children’s Library.
Emerson Campus Wall Sconces
Throughout the Solomon Beit Tefillah you will find these wall sconces that once adorned the walls of the main sanctuary at the Emerson Campus.
Emerson Campus Ner Tamid
Our original Ner Tamid, the eternal light graced our Emerson Campus sanctuary. The Ner Tamid symbolized Gods presence and the light of truth, and traditional remains burning, or lit, at all times.
Emerson Campus Ark Doors
The ark is the centerpiece of every Jewish sanctuary and the ark shown here graced our Emerson Campus. The Ark houses our Torahs, the sacred scrolls consisting of the first five books of the bible (both Jewish and Christian).
The Ark Interior
Donated by the Stahl family in honor of David Stahl's adult Bar Mitzvah, this hand crafted quilt graces the interior of the Ark in the Beit Tefillah.
Ner Tamid Wall Sconce
Designed as a complement to the actual Ner Tamid, this beautiful wall sconce is another representation of our Ner Tamid.
