PUTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON IMPORTANT JEWISH INFORMATION

OU TORAH “My House, and His House” Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb
There is a well-known joke that is told about the Jews which I find particularly sad. The joke tells of a group of explorers who find a Jew who has been stranded on a desert island for years. As he takes them around the island and shows them how he survived, they find that he built two synagogues for himself. When asked why he needs two since he is all alone, he says that one is the one he prays in, and the other is the one he would never walk into. This joke, if you can call it that, makes a discouraging comment about some of our people. Some of us to seem to have a favorite house in which to worship and another house which we stubbornly shun. It is true that every Jew needs at least two houses of worship. But he must enter both of them. One is his synagogue, and the other is his home.
