"As #prisons go, #EasternStatePenitentiary in #Philadelphia was unusually luxurious. For one, it had flush toilets — beating out even the #WhiteHouse in making the upgrade, #museum exhibit developer #BethTinker told me on a recent tour.

But if plumbing reflected the #penitentiary’s commitment to #prisoners’ physical well-being, its biggest innovation was more spiritual. Eastern State housed the first #synagogue inside a #US #prison, complete with a #Torah #ark and #nertamid, or eternal light. That restored sanctuary — a short walk from gangster #AlCapone’s former cell — is now newly open to the public in a museum exhibit, Freedom through Faith: #Judaism at #EasternState and Beyond.

“It’s a place really of humanity, when you’re not getting a lot of humanity in this space,” Tinker said.

The synagogue, founded in 1922, hosted holiday celebrations and weekly #Shabbat services."

They're going to use this very legitimate issue to fuck America over.

"The #US #SupremeCourt has agreed to hear the case of #DanielGrand, an #Orthodox #Jew from #Ohio who says local authorities barred him from holding #Jewish #prayer gatherings at his home and that neighbors harassed him over the practice.

The decision by the nation’s highest court to take up the case is considered highly unusual in the #American #legal system, as the Supreme Court hears only about 50 cases a year.

The dispute began in 2021. Grand, who lives in #UniversityHeights, wanted to pray with a #minyan, the quorum of 10 Jewish men required for certain communal prayers. Because Jewish law prohibits driving on #Shabbat and holidays, and the local #synagogue was too far away to reach on foot, he decided to host worshippers in his private home."

You're invited to join the The Spinoza Havurah for an Arts Farbregen (led by myself) this Saturday at 10 am Eastern/3 pm UK.

(Registration link below)

The focus of our discussion for the farbregen will be some works of visual art, with each work of art being using as a spark for conversation, but we will also close our time for our humanistic Kaddish, as well as kiddush and Ha'motzi.

We will also have an optional arts activity that participants are welcome to engage in during our discussion time. If you want to participate, all you will need is some paper and your favorite drawing tools (pencils, colored pencils, ink pen, markers, etc.)

The Sabbath. So often, we busy ourselves with rote actions: we read a devotional, we read a passage from the Bible, or we pray—out of obligation instead of devotion. But we very rarely practice rest. For the majority of the week, our time and attention is consumed by work of one kind or another. So, in participating in the Sabbath, we need to set firm boundaries that separate that day from work.

I'm passionate about #Parshah and #Torah study, and about my observance of #Shabbat. The uniqueness of the experience that repeats itself every week but is always different never ceases to exhilirate me.

Moadim L’simcha and Chag Sukkot Sameach to all my Jewish friends❣️✡️🕍

Parshat Korach is an interesting one, because Korach is quite clearly cast as the villain of the story, yet his core claim against Moshe and Aharon:

"כָל הָעֵדָה כֻּלָּם קְדֹשִׁים וּבְתוֹכָם ה' וּמַדּוּעַ תִּתְנַשְּׂאוּ עַל קְהַל ה'
All of the nation is holy and have God amongst them, so why do you raise yourselves above the congregation of God?"

seems to be a just one. Understanding why Korach is nevertheless wrong is one of the most interesting questions of the #parshah. A great discussion topic for your Shabbos meal!
