SUMMARY:The Acoustics\, Architecture\, and Use of Three Arnold Brunner Syn
 agogues
LOCATION:Miller Hall\, 406 Prospect Street\, New Haven\, CT 06511
DESCRIPTION:An ISM Fellows Talk with Elliot K. Canfield-Dafilou.\n\nArnold
  Brunner (1857–1925)\, the preeminent American-born Jewish architect\, is

 gs. While some of these synagogues\, like the Moorish/Byzantine Temple Be

 the Sephardic community Shearith Israel still occupies their Brunner buil

 s former building is now occupied by the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral of 
 St. Volodymyr\, and Temple Israel's building now houses the Mount Olivet 
 Baptist Church. The use of the space and the acoustic needs vary greatly 
 across these faith traditions. Acoustic measurements of these historical 
 Brunner buildings are presented and contextualized by the changing needs 
 of the congregations that inhabit them. The current buildings of Sharaay 
 Tefila and Temple Israel are also surveyed. Acoustic issues related to sa

 and musical suitability\, and the use/disuse of amplification are di\n\nh
