Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Synagogue on D-Day (redux)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A synagogue on West Twenty-Third Street in New York City remained open 24 hours on D-Day for special services and prayer.
Reason
An earlier restoration of this photograph garnered 7 supports, 1 weak support, 1 neutral, and 4 opposes: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Synagogue on D-Day. Since that time the name of the congregation and its location have been identified, and this new edit reflects substantial improvement upon the previous version. Note the contrast on the faces and texture on the doors and masonry. Restored version of File:Synagogue D-Day.jpg.
