The twelve-foot diameter, 125-year-old window once adorned the main sanctuary of the Congregation’s home on Eighth Street, Northwest in Washington DC. That building, known to all as “the 8th Street Temple” or just “8th and I,” was Washington Hebrew’s home from 1898 to 1954. When the congregation moved to Macomb Street in Northwest DC, it sold 8th and I to the Greater New Hope Baptist Church. When the church decided to replace the window during renovations in 1996, it graciously permitted the synagogue to remove and preserve it. Jed Boertlein, owner of Washington Art Glass Studios, stored and cared for the beautiful window for a quarter of a century. Last month it was installed in the Garden of Remembrance’s new Marilyn & Raymond Greenberg Memorial Center and the Tina & Albert H. Small, Jr. Memorial Chapel for current and future generations to appreciate as their ancestors did. The work of preserving and installing the window was dedicated by Ellen & Kenneth Marks in loving memory of their parents. Founded in 1999 by the leadership of Washington Hebrew Congregation, the nonprofit Garden of Remembrance (Gan Zikaron) Memorial Park was formed to serve both affiliated and unaffiliated members of the Jewish community. In addition to the Greenberg and Small families, other generous families have provided meaningful donations towards the new building which will include the Wasserman-Gill Family Wing, Groban Center Lobby, Sagon Family Foyer, and Dreyfuss Memorial Hall.
