STAINED GLASS WINDOWS

KI also houses two notable stained-glass pieces. The first is a series of ten massive stained-glass windows known as  “The Prophetic Quest”. They were designed by the Philadelphia artist Jacob Landau, whose  works can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, and the National Gallery.

The other window is of President Theodore Roosevelt. Rabbi Krauskopf and President Roosevelt were lifelong friends. When President Roosevelt died, Krauskopf commissioned a large stained glass window in Roosevelt’s honor which is now part of the entrance foyer in the Keneseth Israel.
