Old Synagogue

I took a photo of this building at 80 Forsyth Street because the architectural details around the windows caught my attention. I didn't notice the subtle Stars of David on the fire escapes until now. A quick Google search revealed, much to my surprise, that this tiny building was once a synagogue - Beth Hamedrash Shaarei Torah.

New Torah!
