Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline (just outside Boston) is a striking historic Reform synagogue whose domed, Byzantine Revival design creates an unforgettable backdrop for live music. Founded in 1842, the congregation is among New England's oldest, and its Beacon Street home-completed in the 1920s-features grand arches, glowing stained glass, and a sanctuary that feels both spacious and intimate. For Candlelight concerts, those architectural details and the room's natural resonance elevate the experience, surrounding audiences with a warm, reverberant sound and an inviting, atmospheric setting illuminated by hundreds of candles.
