Ancient readers of EINY may remember a photograph I took of the sanctuary of Beth Hamedrash Hagadol synagogue on the Lower East Side way back in 2005. (Full size version here.) Well, now it has a wider audience. A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by an author at Wikipedia to see whether I would release the photograph under a Creative Commons license. Since Wikipedia must be one of the research tools I turn to most often, second only to Google, it seemed selfish not to agree.
