As part of a major architectural renovation, the historic synagogue’s lobby was opened up to be a more welcoming entry that communicated inclusivity and warmth. These large mosaic panels, designed by Amy Reichert and executed by Mosaic Opus were a key part of the messaging chosen by the Rabbi, an original translation of Hinei Matov. The colors and motifs of the mosaic, created from Venetian glass tile in a technique originated in Ravenna, Italy, echo those in the spectacular sanctuary behind the doors.
