| Abstract: | All this is halakhically correct, but the equation of home and synagogue is not only a halakhic one but is also a historical reality and a social psychological fact. A beis ha-kenesses in Halakhah and in history has never been a Temple nor has it ever been a house of worship. Halakhah is not satisfied with it being just a house of worship because it is possible to worship outside of it. It was the home where the Jew lived. (Rabbi J. B. Soloveitchik) |
