Supportive Environment
Our Building
Temple Brith Sholom’s current home, dedicated in 1969, was designed by noted architect Werner Seligmann, a former Dean of the Syracuse University School of Architecture and a leading figure in modern design in Central New York.
The building reflects both tradition and simplicity. Set back from the street, it creates a quiet, inward-focused space inspired by small European synagogues. Inside, the layout is flexible and unified, allowing the congregation to gather for worship, learning, and community events in a shared environment.
The sanctuary itself is modest but powerful, using natural light, subtle architectural details, and a rising ceiling to create a sense of calm and reflection. Designed for a small, close-knit congregation, the space balances modern design with enduring Jewish traditions.
