Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik’s Remarks at the Hanukat Ha-Bayit of the Talner Shtibel in Brookline, MA, December 16, 1973
Description
Remarks at synagogue consecration by Rabbi J. B. Soloveitchik (Transcribed and Edited By: Jacob J. Schacter)
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)
