Prague synagogue doors
I love the detail, but what is the symbolism of the open mouths of the figures?
I spent 4 wonderful days in Prague 2 years ago and yes, I will return. Doors and windows and alleyways incite my curiosity. Who designed all this, what thoughts were part of the process, what is the symbolism of the open mouths...to pray...to speak the truth??? As I travel I wonder about the people who lived there long ago. The door to this synagogue has opened to so many in fear and pain. There has been such sadness. Can we heal? Can we ever live in peace?
