![]() Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() The art work of this book is something you would find at a museum. The theme is from a religious point of view yet it offers historical perspective.The story tells of the way a synagogue was built. It tells of how angels built the building from stone leaves and stones of all sizes then put together by the angels. I like this story because it puts the reader on that side of the world and discuss many different ways cultures practice religion. Great opportunity to use book for a conversation starter. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
As legend tells it, the Old-New Synagogue in Prague was built by angels, and later was home to a golem who remains locked away in the building to this day. In lyrical prose, Mark Podwal shares the story of the world's oldest active synagogue, which was completed in 1270. Throughout the years, this sacred place of prayer and celebration has endured plagues, wars, and the Nazi regime. Its story is part legend, part history, and one that stands as a testament to the perseverance of the Jewish people. Includes an author's note and bibliography.
