Founded by Orthodox Jews who had been part of the demographic shift from New York City to the suburbs in the mid 20th century, this elegant neo-Georgian-styled synagogue was inspired by Congregation Shearith Israel, in Manhattan. The original 1950s era building was expanded in the 1970s to include a larger sanctuary and overflow multipurpose space, and enlarged again in 2004 for the steadily growing congregation. As part of a major sanctuary renovation we designed new architectural features to efficiently distribute the cantor’s voice to listeners at the front and rear from a movable central bimah, specified materials and finishes for responsive congregational acoustics, and suggested noise reduction methods for the mechanical systems. All of these features work together to enhance unamplified speech. A speech reinforcement sound system was designed for non-Shabbat use initially, but prepared for upgrade to full Zomet compliance for Shabbat use in the future.
