Enough desert and Beer Sheva Brutalism; let's see some Italian Baroque style beauty!
This 17th century interior of a small synagogue in the town of Vittorio Veneto near Venice was transferred to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in 1965 and was faithfully reconstructed.

  2. Absolutely... save it for new generations to love. The surviving synagogues in Venice are truly gorgeous but do people use them any more?
