Backstage at the Beth Sholom Photo Op
We headed out to the driveway
and lined up quickly in front of the Synagogue,
trying to allow the congregants
to get past us.
Advice from another
Wright-designed house of God, the First Unitarian Church of Madison,
Wisconsin, Minister Max David Gaebler:
” If there is one single bit
of experience that we could offer it would be that no estimate you have
yet formed on you congregational life is anywhere near what will actually
happen. In terms of public attention, in terms of growth for your own
congregation, in terms of what such a building can do as a subtle influence
on all your ways of working and worshipping- in all these ways your
new building will far exceed any expectations you may now have.”
