Temple Beth Elohim

Wellesley, Massachusetts, USA
Bruce T. Martin Photography

Set on a wooded hillside with expansive glass walls looking out toward the surrounding forests and wetlands, this new synagogue is an elegant, unpretentious, and serene place of worship.

The building features a flexible sanctuary that comfortably seats 450 people for weekly services but can expand to 1,000 seats for High Holy Days with the use of sliding walls and gangable, stackable seating. The seating arrangement in either configuration is designed so congregants feel like a community rather than an audience.
