    Congregation Sherith Israel moved from Post and Taylor streets into a new building here in 1904: a grand neoclassical design with a large central dome by the Beaux-Arts-trained architect Albert Pissis, whose other work includes the Hibernia Bank and the Flood Building. Its sanctuary holds a stained-glass window showing Moses carrying the Ten Commandments from El Capitan into Yosemite Valley.
