Congregation Ohr HaTorah
Nestled within a quiet North Dallas neighborhood, this Orthodox Jewish synagogue combines traditional worship practices with a modern, welcoming environment. Built on a cul de sac purchased in the neighborhood where members live, the design of the 40,400-square-foot synagogue accommodates the long narrow site while still allowing the sanctuary to face east as is customary.
The synagogue includes a 420-seat sanctuary with moveable tables and chairs, a women’s balcony, adjacent chapel and learner’s worship spaces. It also includes a social hall, catering kitchens, classrooms and a ritual bath. The finishes throughout were carefully chosen to be timeless, like the beliefs of the congregation itself. The exterior is clad in East Texas limestone and brown brick, while the interior features white Jerusalem stone. A local woodcrafter made custom book holders and tables, and the congregation hired a rabbi to design windows. An outdoor Sukkah made of cables and turnbuckles is covered with bamboo during the annual Festival of Tabernacles.
Planning included synagogue tours to New York City as well as consulting on traditional construction processes, such as a monolithic concrete pour for the building foundation and ritualistic bath.
