Anshei Glen Wild Synagogue is located on Glen Wild Road, Sullivan County Route 58, in the unincorporated community of Glen Wild, New York, United States. It is a small Orthodox synagogue built in the early 1920s for a congregation established during the previous decade. It was founded by a local family and has never had its own rabbi. The synagogue is preserved virtually intact from the time of its construction and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. ==Building== The synagogue is a single-story three-by-four-bay building on a concrete foundation with stucco siding and a gabled roof shingled in asphalt. A four-bay addition projects from the rear. The west (front) facade features a porch with bell-shaped roof supported by two round wooden columns rising from a concrete stoop. The porch's entablature features the name of the synagogue and a Star of David. Both sides and the original rear wall feature large round-arched windows with colored and opaque glass.〔 The ornately paneled wooden doors, surmounted by a colored fanlight, open onto a small vestibule. The remainder of the original block is used for the sanctuary, a barrel-vaulted square room. A chandelier hangs from the intersection of two iron tie rods at the bottom of the vault. The floor layout of the sanctuary follows Orthodox tradition, with the centrally-located bimah surrounded by pews with curved end panels on three sides, all of which face the Torah ark at the rear. Two or three have been set aside as the women's gallery.〔 Turned wooden posts on the elaborately decorated ark support a pedimented roof, where two carved, gilt Lions of Judah hold a scroll with the Ten Commandments topped by a large gilt crown. Both the ark platform and bimah are made of paneled wood with square posts.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anshei Glen Wild Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
