Description
   The innagural album for Hechal Shlomo, seat of the Orthodox Rabbinate in Israel. The book contains numerous pictures of religous life in Israel c. 1950's. Opened in 1958, Hechal Shlomo was built largely through the munificence of Sir Isaac Wolfson, who named it in memory of his father.

Hechal Shlomo houses a number of institutions and organizations. The interior of its synagogue was brought from the synagogue of Padua, Italy. It also houses the Central Rabbinical Library and a Museum of Religious Art. Among the organizations under the aegis of Hechal Shlomo are the Union of Israeli Synagogues and the World Conference of Synagogues. Among its other activities Hechal Shlomo publishes an annual, Shanah be-Shanah.
