Picture of the Simon lintel "In colonial times, when synagogues were scarce, traditional Jews in cities without synagogues conducted prayer services in their homes. This hand-carved wooden lintel was affixed horizontally above the opening of Joseph Simon's personal Torah ark in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In the lintel's center is a depiction of the two tablets symbolizing the Decalogue (the ten commandments) and below it the Hebrew saying, "Know before Whom you are standing," a phrase that often appears in synagogues on the ark lintel or above the reader's lectern." www.loc.gov/exhibits/haventohome/haven-haven.html#obj11
Digital archive (images, text, and history) by David Brenner: (accessible onsite)
"Over 7000 images related directly or indirectly to Congregation Shaarai Shomayim in Lancaster Pennsylvania. This is a file of scanned and downloaded documents, publications, newspaper articles, photographs etc. from the archives of Congregation Shaarai Shomayim, Lancaster, PA, items loaned to me and online newspapers. The goal of this collection is to have in one place as much information as possible on Lancaster's Reform Jewish community, institutions, and mid to late 19th century Jewish immigrants that populated the second Jewish community of Lancaster in the 1840s and chartered the congregation."
