Those Jews who let men and women mix in the synagogue, do they "adhere to things in their true spirit"? And so on.

When I go to my synagogue for Shabbat services, 'influence' has nothing to do with it.

I usually only saw the husband at the synagogue and such, but my mom and his wife were best friends. I walked by the husband, who was standing there with a look of shock on his face.

Nobody is forcing any church/synagogue/mosque/etc to perform a marriage ceremony of any kind they do not want to. With those 3 replies, I will waste no more words on this damn topic.

One evening dozens of people crowded into a synagogue basement to discuss the muggins. The rabbi sermonized, "...

If you are religiously inclined, joining a church/synagogue can have a profound effect on your social life. I met my fiancee at church, and some of my deepest friendships are with people from my congregation.

I belong to a synagogue, and it's hard to get more traditional than Judaism, which has been around for thousands of years. The only reason why you think there's irony in what I said about Judaism is your ignorance of Judaism.

Look, within living memory of people I've shared a siddur with at synagogue, a decidedly first-world population attempted to try and stuff my entire people up a crematorium stack. And people wonder why I'm a life member of the NRA.

There were even fewer synagogues. There were none in my home town; in Moscow, whose population was close to ten million, there was only one. Going to a service in a church or a synagogue was dangerous: one could be spotted by special plain-clothed agents and get in a lot of trouble.

It'd be better still if the government could get out of the welfare business altogether and leave it to our individual communities - I certainly don't mind that my synagogue dues are used to help our poorer members, and if my tax bill was lower, I'd have still more to donate. But that would require a cultural shift to make practical - it's a shame, but most people in America no longer belong to small, supportive communities.

The leaflets bore the name of Denis Pushilin, who identified himself as chairman of "Donetsk's temporary government," and were distributed near the Donetsk synagogue and other areas, according to the reports. Pushilin acknowledged that fliers were distributed under his organization's name in Donetsk but denied any connection to them, Ynet reported in Hebrew."

I think of this poor black guy who got recruited into a fake islamic jihad gang and how they gave him a fake bomb and rented a synagogue for him to leave it in and he got jumped by 50 cops on the way out the door, yelling "Allah Akbar" On some level I feel bad for him, but you've got to be a dope to fall for that.
