I didn't know this was the synagogue of the great Al Jolson. Very cool.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the synagogue on I Street NW is the one over on 6th and I that Abe Pollin and several other prominent members of D.C.'s Jewish community helped to restore? It's a beautiful building. You should check it out sometime. (And it's near a Five Guys... I'm just sayin'...)J.M. Tewkesburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184459165382590897noreply@blogger.com
