Jewish patients were able to worship on the premises of Letchworth Village after 1977, when Congregation B’nai Israel was built. The temple has been abandoned since the hospital closed in 1996.

And for another, the rich and varied texture of the space…

False prophet… though I did listen to Ministry. The 90’s, good times.
