its headquarters is a specious
building surrounded by trees.
Jewish art enthusiasts will
be delighted to discover here
an impressive art collection.
On the walls of Temple
Sinai's auditorium are sixty-
seven works of modern
Jewish art, including four
original lithrographs signed
by Marc Chagall, 11 by
Shalom of Safed, and works
by Jaacov Agam, Slomo Katz,
Chaim Gross, Ira Moscowitz
and others, all part of the Bar-
bara Weintraub Collection of
Art.
"And that's only half the
collection," says Rowland Far-
rald, a synagogue member
"We have somany paintings,
we store the rest in a separate
room.
"We get many visitors who
jump off the streetcar when
they see the stained glass
windows. And when they
come inside and see this," —
he gestues to the art work —
"they're amazed, they just
don't believe it."
Not everyone comes by im-
pulse on the streetcar. Recent-
ly, a Jewish group made the
trek from New York to New
Orleans specifically to see
this collection.
Farrald's tour also includes
a visit to the main sanctuary
with its original chandeliers
by Louis Tiffany, and to the
tranquil Garden for the
Blind. Dedicated with a pla-
que in Braille, this lush
garden is especially meant to
be felt and touched by the
blind, says Farrald, leading
the way past yew trees, jap-
no icas, magnolias and
fragrant flower beds.
Finally, Iburo Synagogue at
4338 St. Charles, is home to
the city's most historic con-
gregatin. From the outside,
it's a striking sight: a massive
structure with a dome and ar-
ches and Star of David pat-
terns. A plaque explains that
this congregation grew from
a merger of two early Jewish
congregations, one of them
being the first beyond the
original thirteen colonies.
It's named for Judah Touro,
son of Rabbi Isaac Touro of
Newport, Rhode Island, who
came to New Orleans in 1803,
after the Lousiana Purchase.
"He came to New Orleans to
make his fortune here, and he
did," says Adrien Genet, a
fourth generation member of
Tburo who often gives tours of
the synagogue.
Leading the way to the
sanctuary, she explains that
Touro became a cotton broker
and benefactor who gave to
both secular and Jewish
causes. He financed a
synagogue for the Dispersed
of Judah congregation and
even imported wood from
