Through the Lens:
Jeremy Goldberg’s Washington
In 1998, Jeremy Goldberg followed the path of Washington’s Jewish community by photographing the original and current sites of synagogues and other Jewish buildings. This exhibit traces Washington’s Jewish community from a tight cluster of late 19th century synagogues downtown to new neighborhoods uptown and into the suburbs.
