30x50 Agudas Achim Mural
J8609
$1,300.00
Agudas Achim Mural - Based on the Mizrach Wall of one of Chicago's oldest and most historic
synagogue. The wall is an incredible mix of mosaics, tile, stained glass and fabric - the most
beautiful I have seen anywhere. It is several stories high (the main floor is huge and seats 2000
with an very large Ezras Nashim balcony on three sides - and then a vaulted ceiling above it
all).
My younger son and daughter-in-law live in Chicago and had recently moved. We were
spending Shabbos with them and Agudas Achim was the only Shul within reasonable walking
distance. I gave it a try and was wonderfully surprised. The Davening was Haimish with a nice
mix of young and old, Russian immigrant and "Yankees", new and old to Yiddishkeit. Rabbi
Philip Lefkowitz and his sons are struggling to both service the immigrant community which is
in great need, renovate the Shul so it is sound and useable and also save it from being
demolished by very inconsiderate Chicago bureaucrats.
This mural was done to try and help the Agudas Achim Community and a portion of all sales
are donated to them.
