The Origins and Impact of Minoru Yamasaki’s Landmark North Shore Congregation Israel
Sunday, April 10 at 10 a.m. on Zoom

With Dr. Samuel D. Gruber, expert on Jewish art, architecture and historic preservation of Jewish sites. 
Special guest Matt Wylie, Principal at Eckenhoff Saunders, the architectural firm selected to help NSCI transform to a modern, flexible synagogue campus via the Imagine the Possible campaign. 

It has been almost 60 years since NSCI dedicated its current home on the lake. The striking building was unlike any other synagogue and was immediately embraced as a bold landmark of modern design. In this richly illustrated talk, Dr. Samuel D. Gruber will take a close look at the Minoru Yamasaki-designed sanctuary, placing it within a long tradition of religion and building, but also seeing it as something still fresh and new that continues after more than a half-century to inspire (and sometimes perplex) the worshiper and the visitor.
