From Abyssinian to Zion

This book is a really cool way to look at Manhattan. This book chronicles the history of churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples. This is a fun way to learn about the architectural history of New York City. It shows not only the buildings and congregations, but the cultural diversity of our city.

Who knew that my synagogue, B'nai Jeshurun, has been in four locations since it was founded in 1825. I didn't even know it had been around for so long.
