Chicago Loop Synagogue
Chicago Loop Synagogue was founded in 1929 to serve the religious needs of those whose business activities brought them downtown. Since then, a growing residential community has made it the home synagogue for those who live downtown as well.
The synagogue is also an architectural marvel which is regularly featured on architecture tours.
Among other features, it contains the magnificent Abraham Rattner stained glass artwork which takes up almost the entire Eastern facade of the Synagogue, Rattner lithographs in the Beit Midrash and the entry to the Social Hall and the Hands of Peace by Henri Azaz, which crowns the entrance to the Synagogue.
We are regularly part of the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Sacred Spaces tour and are a stop for many architecture tours and field trips as we continue to be open to our community.
