Description
View of the congregation and Bimah at a special Masonic service held at the Temple Beth Zion, Buffalo, New York on a Sunday morning in 1950
The image shows a black-and-white interior view of a synagogue filled with a large congregation seated in long rows of pews. The perspective is from an elevated position at the back, looking toward the front where a speaker stands at a central lectern before the ark. The ark is richly decorated with columns, arches, Hebrew inscriptions, and floral arrangements. Many attendees are holding prayer books or programs, and flags and ceremonial furnishings are visible near the front, indicating a significant religious service or communal gathering.
