Whoa, I'm a little bit dizzy from all these holidays. Last week was Rosh HaShana, now tomorrow night is Yom Kipur, and straight after that comes a week of Sukkot and Simchat Tora. Every year it comes, and every year the whirlwind takes me by surprise :)
Anyway, in honor of all these Jewish holidays, I thought I'd present you with some photos of a very simple building - the synagogue on the kibbutz where I work. It's a very modest, unassuming building. My bet is that they went with the "don't judge a book by it's cover" idea, valuing instead what's inside. Actually very appropriate for a synagogue, no?
Now it's your turn! To participate in Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! just post a photo of a window, door, or anything architectural, link back here, and then sign up in the widget here. I look forward to seeing what you've found for us this week! Have a great week, everyone! And Happy New Year and Happy Holidays to all of us celebrating!

The building is unassuming and plain - so it is appropriate in its use as a synagogue. When we learn more of the one true God in a sense of community, nothing can be more in focus than true divine knowledge...it is a fine looking building, its purpose making it beautiful!
I agree that it is far from beautiful. the menorah is, though. and those corners are interesting. I bet the inside is most welcoming.
The best kind, indeed.
Gmar chatima tova to you and all.
I like the interesting perspective and simple shapes.
Sorry I didn't post this week Toby. Life has taken over a bit. I like your synagogue, because it is the equivalent of a plain paper package that a beautiful box with ribbons will fall out of. The inside I am sure is much more interesting than the outside.
