Leviticus 19:18<\/strong>
\u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05b8\u05bc \u05dc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b5\u05e2\u05b2\u05da\u05b8 \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05da\u05b8
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This verse<\/strong>[1]<\/sup> is engraved above the large rose window adorned with a Star of David on the main fa\u00e7ade of the synagogue of Versailles. Built between 1884 and 1886 in a Neo-Byzantine style, the building stands out for its symmetrical composition, rounded arches, Hebrew inscriptions, and stone gables carved to represent the Torah scrolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure was designed by architect Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe<\/strong>[2]<\/sup>, a major figure in Jewish religious architecture in France at the end of the 19th century. Its realization was made possible thanks to the financial support of philanthropist C\u00e9cile Furtado-Heine<\/strong>[3]<\/sup>, during a time marked by the massive arrival of Alsatian and Lorraine Jewish families after the 1870 war<\/strong>[4]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listed as a historic monument since 2010, the synagogue remains an active place of worship, serving a predominantly Sephardic community. Before its construction, the Jews of Versailles, present since the 18th century, practiced their faith in modest prayer rooms, notably on Rue de Saint-Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[1]<\/sup><\/strong> The inscription <\/strong>above the rose window combines two verses:<\/em>
\u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05b8\u05bc \u05d0\u05b5\u05ea \u05d4’ \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 You shall love the Lord, your God<\/em> (Deuteronomy 6:5).
\u05dc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b5\u05e2\u05b2\u05da\u05b8 \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05da\u05b8 You shall love your neighbor as yourself<\/em> (Leviticus 19:18).
Above the central portal, another verse is inscribed:<\/em>
\u00ab\u00a0Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> (Deuteronomy 28:6).
[2]<\/sup><\/strong> Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe <\/strong>(1834\u20131895), French architect, is notably the designer of the synagogue on Rue de la Victoire in Paris, a landmark of French Judaism.<\/em>
[3]<\/sup><\/strong> C\u00e9cile Charlotte Furtado-Heine<\/strong> (1821\u20131896), a major Jewish patron, supported numerous social and religious initiatives, including the construction of hospitals and synagogues.<\/em>
[4]<\/sup><\/strong> After the defeat of Napoleon III at Sedan<\/strong>, the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by the German Empire in 1871 led to the exile of many French-speaking Jewish families. Some sought refuge in France and Algeria, while others settled in Switzerland or the United States, particularly in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and New York. A few families also emigrated to Argentina and Brazil, while others opted for the Ottoman Empire.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
