Dohany Synagogue, Vienna

I have never seen a synagogue like this.  Perhaps I never will again.  This is such a stark contrast to the synagogues in Israel.  I was shocked and amazed.

It is huge, and striking! Is unlike most where seating is around the Scroll/s, and not as elaborately decorated with such details and not that spacious; what amazed you, Skip? Many worshippers/Jewish folks there?
Is there something I missed?

There are many unique synagogues, architecturally in Israel-http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3605459,00.html
