Image Gallery on Hurva Synagogue
I believe these images and galleries of similiar pictures belong in all articles on religious or other architecture, especially beautiful buildings like the Hurva synagogue. Therefore I thanked younfor your edit removing the gallery, amd reverted it. I would respectfully suggest that if you dislike the gallery layout, you rearrange the photos in the article, but there are aeveral that I believe it is imperative remain in tje article, including those depicting the new stained glass windows and the mural "By the rivers of Babylon."
What happened when you deleted the image gallery was the ratio of pictires of the old synagogue in ruins to rhose of the rebuilt synagogue increased dramatically, which, G-d forbid, some might misinterpret as anti-Semitic, and some anti-Semites might cheer. I believe part of the beauty of the Hurva Synagogue article is tje message of hope it comveys by showing this beautiful house of prayer in its rebuilt condition. I think most of the pictures should show the rebuilt synagogue and its details, since that is what exists today, with older photos to show what the old synagogue looked like, thus showing how the new synagogue is a faithful and historically accurate reconstruction, while others should show for historical interest the temporary arch, which was a beautiful memorial, like the surviving clocktowers of aome destroyed churches in Europe, but alas, not as happy a sight as the new rebuilt Shul, and lastly, at most, one or two pictures of the tragic second and hopefully last ruination of the synagogue in 1948. for historical purposes, bur without the Gallery, the images seemed to dwell on the synagogue's destruction and I found the results morbid.
Please do not revert my reatoration of the gallery: if you object to it I propose instead we negotiate a compromise solution, so please xomtact me on my talk page if you would like to work out a consensus on this issue, unless tou agree with my rationale for reverting your edit, one final aspect of whixh is that many people don't know about the Wikimedia galleries or how to search them; it behooves us, I would arfue, ro make the Misplaced Pages articles content-rich because otherwise people just wouldnt see those i,afes. Having not yet made aliyah to Jerusalem I had no idea for example the rebuilt synagogue had a beautiful mural "By the Rivers of Babylon" or such beautiful srained glass windows until I saw the gallery, so I believe we owe it to everyone to either keep the gallery or else integrate the beat and most interesting images i to it into the article in-line.
Shalom
