Description: | This scene shows the interior of the Great Synagogue, on Duke's Place in the City of London, on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). The Cohanim (priests) are blessing the congregation from in front of the Ark. The Hazan (Cantor) is dressed in traditional white, as a symbol of purity. This Synagogue, of lofty classical design, was the fourth one on this site; the Great Synagogue was founded originally in 1690. The building stood until July 1941, when it was destroyed in a bombing raid. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
