Loop Synagogue is a synagogue in the Chicago Loop, built in 1957–1958.[2] It is renowned for a stained glass artwork by Abraham Rattner.{{sfn|Chiat|2004|p=72}}

The architects were the firm Loebl, Schlossman & Bennett, who also designed the Richard J. Daley Center.{{sfn|Cutler |1996|p=175}}[3]

Artwork

A 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 Light

Abraham 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]
