“And I Shall Dwell Among Them: Historic Synagogues of the World”
Aperture Press, 1997
From 1991-1995 Neil Folberg worked on a commission from the Aperture Foundation to photograph and write a book about Judaism’s sacred spaces.
New York Magazine wrote: “Among the phenomena Folberg detected in
his search for historic synagogues was that wherever Jews settled- whether in Morocco, Hungary or the American South-the designs of their temples reflected the prevailing style of the environment. But it is the building’s power to evoke spirituality that comes across most forcefully in his photographs.”
The exhibition circulated by Aperture was shown in over a dozen venues throughout the world. Fifty prints are in the collection of The Jewish Museum, New York.
