Diaspora and the sacred
Thanks for the thumbs up. I have always been fascinated with how immigrant communities 'rebuild' their sacred structures from where they came from in their new home, and how they try to 'outdo' or 'improve' on the original. In Bartlett, the Gujarati community has built a BEAUTIFUL Hindu temple that is definitely worth checking out. On the subject, other than Belz Beis HaMedrash HaGadol, do you know of any other synagogues that were built in Israel that imitate synagogues from other parts of the world?--Orestek 15:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
