<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 4656475, member: 56653&quot;]It&#039;s the different ways in which Jews in Eastern Europe built their synagogues, even if this is a fairly modern phenomenon -- it does harken back to the commonalities we inhabit, that become normal to us although they might have been completely foreign to our ancestors. Long story short you can have instances of Western Sephardim of originally Ladino heritage that, once moved East will end up building their synagogues in the (neo)Gothic style, probably under the German influence, but in Eastern Europe. And German Jews of Yiddish heritage which have -- at least on the shore of the Black Sea -- opted for a North-African-Andalusian architecture, mainly under the influence of the Ottoman Empire and the &quot;orientalist&quot; longing. This is of course a sidetrack, sorry if it got distracting from the topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
