Description: Photographs and text on the first US synagogue designed by modernist synagogue architect Eric Mendelsohn.
Images of the B'nai Amoona Synagogue (Center of Contemporary Arts) by Mendelsohn B'nai Amoona Synagogue (now Center of Contemporary Arts [COCA]) This was the first U. S. commission for Mendelsohn, a German Jew, who moved to the United States in 1941. His dynamic modernist design is dramatically different from the conventional synagogues being built at that time. His interest in Jewish life and culture is also seen in his design of three additional synagogues and a never-executed Holocaust memorial for Riverside Park in New York City.
