On it are erected three houses of worship - Catholic, Protes- tant, and Jewish-each one approx~mately the same size. They stand at this gateway to America and the United Nations as a symbol of the Judeo- Christian tradition on which America was founded and nurtured. While each chapel has its own unique design, the architects worked coo~ratively to cre- ate out of the three a harmonious, aesthetic unit. One of these chapels, the International Syna- gogue, houses the Ferkauf Museum. It was planned that this Museum have at least one religious art object from every Jewish Community In the world as a token of the synagogue's internatlonal status and of the religious fellowship in which Jews throughout the world are united.''
