EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1942 by Marjory Collins, transports us to the bustling streets of New York City. The image captures a group of Jewish men sitting outside the Beth Hamedrash Hagodol synagogue on Norfolk Street, located in the vibrant Lower East Side neighborhood. In this snapshot of daily life, we see these unidentified men engrossed in conversation as they gather together under the night sky. Their traditional yarmulkes serve as a visible symbol of their faith and cultural identity. Despite being surrounded by the urban chaos of mid-century New York City, these individuals find solace and community within their sacred space. The exterior of the synagogue stands tall behind them, its architectural details illuminated by nearby streetlights. This historic building has been a cornerstone for Jewish worship since its establishment in 1850 and continues to be an important landmark today. Marjory Collins' lens beautifully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights the resilience and strength found within this close-knit community during challenging times. Through her lens, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, faith can provide comfort and unity. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon both personal histories and collective experiences while appreciating the rich tapestry that is New York City's diverse cultural heritage.
