Temple Israel<\/a><\/b> is a reform congregation in midtown Tulsa just off Utica Square. Their synagogue is a beautiful midcentury modern building. Check their web site. They have a virtual walk through of their facility. They also have a very active congregation. Lots and lots going on there.<\/p>\n

I love their depiction of the Ten Commandments. From their website; “This sculpture of the Ten Commandments by Bernard Frazier shows the commandments superimposed on twin pillars to symbolize “The Pillar of Cloud by Day and the Pillar of Fire by Night.” This concept comes from Exodus, Chapter 13 Verse 21-22<\/i>:”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Temple<\/a>
(Sorry for the bad photo, me and my camera are having issues)<\/span><\/p>\n

They have a beautiful Menorah also. I am going to quote again directly from their web site:
“This menorah was designed by Calvin Albert and takes the form of a pedestal with seven unfolding limbs in the form of a Tree of Life (Proverbs 3:17 — “It is a Tree of Life to them that hold fast to it.”). Part of the sculpture shows a circular binding piece symbolizing the universality of God’s presence. The menorah is fueled with a specially prepared oil.<\/i>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Even their sign out front is beautiful.<\/p>\n
