By: Zahava Fertig Every shul has a different type of mehitsah: some shorter, some taller, some prettier, some plainer, some with one sided mirrors, some with slats some all the way up to the ceilin…

Is Furst Hall an ugly monolith or a powerful symbol of resilience? Is Zysman Hall really meant to look like a mosque? Dr. Jess Olson is our tour guide to explore the meaning in the Wilf Campus' architecture.
