On view now at the JCC in Rockville "Inside the Great Synagogue of Aleppo, Syria" Photographs by Jason Hamacher

Now - SUN, March 27th, Free

In the spring of 2006, Jason Hamacher was given a rare opportunity to enter and photograph one of the world's oldest synagogues, The Great Synagogue of Aleppo, Syria, best known for housing the Aleppo Codex which was once the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. The synagogue's foundation dates to King David and has been continually built upon since. The show features select images from Hamacher's forthcoming book, Aleppo: The Essence of Syria, which aims to reveal Aleppo, Syria's modern and ancient presence as seen through the eyes of its Christian, Muslim, and Jewish communities.
