House-with ample dressing room, a
scene loft, and an orchestra pit. In
the adjoining buildings on the west
will be concert hall, dance hall, lee
ture room, and library. Over the
front archways will be several rooms
for clubs and classes.
Oriental "Chuppas"
Though the entire group of build
ings will face the Court of Honor
provision is made for outside en-
frances, and driveways for all of them
except the synagogue. To one side
of the court are two canopics, orna-
monted in majolica and gold. These
are 'chuppas" for wedding cere-
monies, which, according to ancient
custom, are held out-of- doors during
the dry season. A wedding hall for
those who prefer indoor ceremonies
is also provided. Thanking the syna-
goEue to the north is the administra-
tion building which houses the offices
of the entire group, with accommoda-
tions for the synagogue functionaries.
On either side of the Court of
Honor are the other buildings of the
group. The building on the east is, to
use the phraseology of the architects
dedicated to the serious work of well
fare and public work" The west
building is planned for art and sci.
ence, recreation and pleasure Be
tween the east building and the syna-
gogue are Easements for ritual baths,
boiler rooms, heating, lighting and
ventilating apparatus, and storage
rooms.
The sharp slope of the site has been
taken advantage of by the architects
in unusual manner. Because of this
characteristic there will be a lower
and upper vestibule in the west build
ing, both of them uncovered These
two vestibules, say Messrs. Yellin &
Hecker. are of great Importance to

acts or concert intervals. AT other
times, this space together with sur

bules will provide standing room for
approximately six thousand people.

Will stand on one of the main thor
oughfares of Jerusalem, and face two
other roads. The three exterior
facades, in addition to the great
courtyard around which the various
units will group, afford rare archi-
tectural opportunity.
Looking through the front archway
toward the synagogue building, the
great building in the rear which DOM
mates the mass, the beautiful aspects
of the Court of Honor" are imme-
diately unfolded to the spectator. The
synagogue, which may be approached
either by crossing the court or in the
grateful shade of the arcades on
either side of the court will have a
seating capacity of 1000, including
the women's gallery. In addition to
the Synagogue, provision is made for
weekday chapel.
$50 Feet in Length
The architects believe that the
Court OF Honor, covering an area of
40xS0 meters, will, during the dry
season, which in Palestine is from
eight to nine months, become the real
cultural centey of Jerusalem. 1t will
be the favorite promenade for both
old and young, and on special occa-
sions, such as great mass meetings,
or public concerts, it will, together
with the arcade, hold 10000 people.
An open air stage is one of the fea-
lures of the Court of Honor.
Officers for community organiza-
tions are provided in the east build
ing, which will also contain a labor
bureau and an infant welfare station.
Gym, Roof Garden. Restaurant,

The main west building will COM
bine gymnasium, a roof garden, a
restaurant, and a theatre. The seat

In the past five years., she con-
