Adath's Legacy Wall
Adath’s New Legacy Wall was dedicated on January 25, 2014. The 45-foot-long wall is a stunning multimedia collage of photographs, ritual artifacts and history. It stands 12-feet tall and has 36 display boxes, eight of which are back lit panels. There is also one video screen displaying a slideshow of at least 100 photographs.
“There is a lot of complexity for a project of its size,” said Sam Edelstein, the lead architect from firm MSR in Minneapolis, which designed the project with Tracy Engel-Lesneski, Principal at MSR, and a full team. “It is intended to be a semi-permanent display to be updated as needed.” In addition to Adath and Bnai Emet, the wall also conveys the legacies of B’nai Abraham, Tifereth B’nai Jacob, and Mikro Kodesh.
Lee Prohofsky, who chaired the Adath Arts & Interiors subcommittee that oversaw the wall’s design, said “the wall is meant to be a look back at the origins of Adath through the various congregations that have folded into Adath, while showing what makes us the vibrant, welcoming community that we are.”
