Hebrew Cryptography
Stairway and landing, Agudas Achim North Shore Synagogue, Chicago Illinois.
The Agudas Achim North Shore Synagogue, Constructed in 1922, served the many Jewish immgrants that flooded into the area in the early part of the 20th century. An adjoining Hebrew school was subsequently constructed next door, but by the 1940's, the neighborhood was deteriorating rapidly, and Jews began settling even farther north. By the 1960's, the old synagogue had fallen into severe disrepair from vandalism and neglect, and by the 1980's, the synagogue had been abandoned.
In the 1990's, Russian Orthodox Jews started repairs on the building and began holding services again, but the revival was short-lived, and the building has been abandoned ever since.
Night, fully dark lobby, ambient city light through windows, CTO-gelled Lux Pro 630 flashlight.
