After 26 years, a stained-glass window shines in a new setting
“It was always the intention that somehow we would incorporate this beautiful window into a new memorial chapel,” saidSaid Boertlein: “They told us they were going to be building this [chapel]. We had no idea it was going to take 25 years to actually happen.”Happen it finally did. On Nov. 13 — 124 years after the original synagogue at Eighth and I was dedicated — the chapel was dedicated. The window is the centerpiece.
The new aluminum frame was fabricated in Pittsburgh by the CAFF Company. It weighs half as much as the old one. The panes inside the frame are held together in time-honored fashion, with solder and what’s called lead came. I spoke with both men on the phone, then went to visit the cemetery, which was created by 29 Washington-area synagogues that banded together when burial space in the District started becoming practically nonexistent.
