Daley Center.{{sfn|Cutler |1996|p=175}}[3] ArtworkA sculpture Hands of Peace by Nehemia Azaz is situated over the entrance doors.{{sfn|Chiat|2004|p=105}} The work depicts "priestly hands raised in benediction" (the Priestly Blessing).[4] Let There Be LightAbraham Rattner's {{convert|30|x|40|ft|abbr=on}} Let There Be Light {{efn|Also listed as And God Said, Let There Be Light{{sfn|Baigell|pp=112}} and The Journey of a Mystic{{sfn|de Breffny|1978|pp=199-200}}}} occupies the entire eastern wall of the second-floor sanctuary. It stands in juxtaposition to the "reserved minimalism" of the rest of the interior.[1] The art depicts images from 3 and Jewish religious symbols including a menorah, a shofar and an etrog. Additional influences include kabbalistic symbolism of "the force and the spirit of the ineffable and unknowable power".{{sfn|Baigell|pp=114-115}} It was described as "[p]erhaps the most beautiful synagogue interior in the United States".{{sfn|de Breffny|1978|pp=199-200}} Another critic said the glass "bathes the sanctuary in a shower of color, artistically consecrating the space as a place apart from the grey concrete scene on the other side of the glass".[5] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://openhousechicago.org/sites/site/chicago-loop-synagogue/|website=Open House Chicago|accessdate=2018-05-26|title=Chicago Loop Synagogue}} 2. ^{{citation|title=Jewish Routes: Chicago|author=Eileen Lavine |date=January 13, 2016|work=Moment|url=https://www.momentmag.com/jewish-routes-chicago/}} 3. ^Daley Center, Chicago Architecture Foundation 4. ^{{citation|publisher=WTTW|work=Chicago Loop: A New Walking Tour|title=Hands of Peace by Henri Azaz |url=https://interactive.wttw.com/loop/art/hands-peace-henri-azaz}} 5. ^{{citation|publisher=WTTW|work=Chicago Loop: A New Walking Tour|title=Let There be Light by Abraham Rattner|url=https://interactive.wttw.com/loop/art/let-there-be-light-abraham-rattner|accessdate=2018-05-26}} Sources
