Over the decades here in Israel I've spied men dovening with their Tallit, Tefillin in all sorts of places, from stores, to buses, guard-posts etc.
Quite often they're on their way to work or in places where there is no convenient synagogue. That's why I was surprised the other day when I noted this man.
He was near the Jerusalem Municipality, Safra Square. It was just after 7am, and there are many synagogues within a three to five minute walk from there, including one in the municipal offices.
Shalom!
ReplyDeleteHe might have been waiting for someone to take the baby before he went into a synagogue but had to start shaharit or else he wouldn't finish on time. Perhaps he was learning so as not to waste his time waiting.
Who knows? It was such a gorgeous morning.
