The Women's Section

Thanks to Larry Lennhoff for pointing out this good post that I'd missed. Here's a taste:

"One of the classic design challenges for Orthodox synagogues is the matter of the Women’s Section – how to create a space which welcomes and encourages davening, while excluding some of the key components of the shul’s real estate (shulchan, aron) and dealing with the reality that the great majority of Orthodox attendees are men."

I recommend this post, and commend the writer for his thoughtfulness.
