The outside view of this beautiful building - and of course our tropical foliage is always the icing on the cake. Note the pillars at the entrance - they were handmade in Denmark especially for the Synagogue from rounded bricks.

Here is how a chandelier should be seen - at night, glowing through the crystal - and the crystal in these is Baccarat - only the best!

There are 6 Torah scrolls within the Ark - 3 are Ashkenazic while the others are Sephardic (there is no difference in what is written, only in how the parchment is prepared). The center Torah is on loan from a Synagogue in Czechoslovakia, which was destroyed during the Holocaust.
