The disappearing history of Chicago�s Jewish past can be found in the religious architecture of its stately synagogues and communal buildings. Whether modest or majestic, wood or stone, the buildings reflected their members� views on faith and their commitment to the neighborhoods where they lived in a time when individuals and the community were inseparable from their neighborhood synagogues, temples, and shuls. From Chicago�s oldest Jewish congregation, Kehilath Anshe Maariv Temple (Pilgrim Baptist), to Ohave Sholom (St. Basils Greek Orthodox), to Kehilath Anshe Maariv�s last independent building (Operation Push), come and explore Chicago�s forgotten synagogues and communal buildings. Nearly 150 years of Chicago history unfolds in Chicago�s Forgotten Synagogues as the photographs and accompanying stories tell of the synagogues� past greatness and their present and uncertain future.
