That building was a synagogue from the get-go, whereas Beth Hamedrash Hagadol, from what I understand, actually started as a church in the mid-19th century. Regardless, another irreplaceable piece has been ripped out of the neighborhood quilt.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45141400781264357102017-05-15T10:45:08.197-04:002017-05-15T10:45:08.197-04:00A work in progressA work in progressAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-26109739261385705392017-05-15T09:29:09.828-04:002017-05-15T09:29:09.828-04:00Suspicious as ever.
