Great Synagogue - Jerusalem

We attended services in the Great Synagogue, Orthodox, on Shabbos morning. No pictures allowed inside the building. The stain glass window stretches about 3 stories in height. The lobby houses a massive collection of international Mezuzot, ancient and contemporary, donated by a family in Monsey, New York.
Everything in Israel, it appears, has a name on it signifying the donor or donors. These contributors come from around the world, many from the US and South America, but representing all the countries of the diaspora.
