Lynne is at the threshold of La Sinagoga.
You enter La Sinagoga through a shallow foyer. On the left in the foyer is a stairway to the balcony reserved for women. Ahead, you pass into the sanctuary.
This wall is on the left of the sanctuary and is the back of the room.
This alcove is to the right of the entrance to the sanctuary. It is where the Torah was kept when La Sinagoga was in use. It is used now to display a replica of a bride's costume.
This is the wall above and to the right in the previous view.
