Huge photographic reproductions of plaques forming part of the main entrance to the sanctuary of Temple Beth El here will be part of a cultural exhibit by the United States Government in the Soviet Union, it was announced here today by Julius Offit, president of Beth El Congregation.
The photos were selected by the U. S. agency in charge as a demonstration of the depth and animation of the Jewish religion in the United States, Mr. Offit said. The original plaques here, designed by Raymond A. Katz, of New York, represent the three ways in which the Divine Power enters the life of man–Creation, Revelation and Redemption. Biblical symbols illustrate the Hebrew word “Emet”–truth.
The plaques are framed by two columns which represent the pillars of King Solomon’s temple, dedicated to the martyrs of the past and to the builders of the future.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
