The grand sanctuary, built in 1964, was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, architect of the World Trade Center. It is a dramatic, awe-inspiring space, but hard to use by a congregation, so a smaller sanctuary was built in 1979. Together, the two connected buildings create a portrait of Jewish aspirations in the late-20th century.  -   Samuel Gruber     Quotes
