Built in the Modern Romanesque-style popular in the late 1920s, Temple Emanu-El is one of the largest houses of worship in the world and the oldest Reform synagogue in New York City. The sanctuary features dazzling mosaics by noted muralist Hildreth Meière, an intricately painted ceiling, and towering stained glass windows. The building's meticulous decorative restoration by Beyer Blinder Belle received the New York Landmarks Conservancy's Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award in 2007.

Celebrating its 180th anniversary this year, the Temple will host "Emanu-El at 180," a special exhibit in the Bernard Museum of Judaica. The exhibit traces the evolution of Temple Emanu-El, featuring paintings, sculpture, and ephemera drawn from its own holdings, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The New York Historical, and private collections.
