Date: 2000
Creator: Lauer, Ralph
Description: Photograph of the altar or "bimah" in Beth-El Congregation's main worship area between 1920 and 2000.

These include the wall behind the alter made of reddish Colorado travertine, the ark (which contained the Torahs) framed with gray-veined cremo-Italian marble, as well as the gate and the menorahs flanking the ark which are an Art Deco design. The peach carpet, chairs, and dove lights were added when the interior was remodeled in 1981.
