In time, we hope the Medias Synagogue will become a best practice model for other communities around the country to rediscover abandoned or forgotten buildings and give them new life through educational programmes designed for their own specific needs and history.
For, in the words of John Ruskin, "the greatest glory of a building is not in its stones, nor in its gold. It is in that golden stain of time that we are to look for the real light, and colour, and preciousness of architecture; and it is not until a building has assumed this character, till it has been entrusted with the fame, and hallowed by the deeds of men, till its walls have been witnesses of suffering and its pillars rise out of the shadows of death, that its existence... can be gifted with... language and life."
