Book synopsis

"Honor" is both a photographic documentation and the story of one of the nation's most architecturally important religious institutions. The Uriah P. Levy Center and Jewish Chapel, designed by architect Joseph A. Boggs, is located at the United States Naval Academy. This classic building of modern Beaux-Arts beauty and order is an ethereal construct of space and natural light. Named after Uriah P. Levy, a naval officer who was a powerful example for Jewish people during the War of 1812 and a passionate fighter against anti-Semitism, the Center and Chapel are a crowning achievement that enhance religious and cultural tolerance. With beautiful photos and insightful text, "Honor" is a treat for architecture buffs, as well as those interested in important houses of worship.
