I don't know the answer to your question about the "support Israel" sign - it may be down temporarily while we have been upgrading our other signs, but I will direct your question to the synagogue office. Hope that you and your family are all well! janaki Boris,

Me? After putting on tefillin I can't resist holding hands with one or more fellow congregants regardless of their gender. However, since I can't post my question on the blog the right way, because I am no longer a TI member and three TI Members I asked this question apparently decided not to answer, I am positing this question as a reply to this blog: What happened to the sign "We support Israel" which was displayed in front of your synagogue? Did it fall down? Was it a subject of another vandalism incident? Was it taken down to be replaced? Glad to see important issues are still brought up. Me?

If we have accepted that women can fully participate in all things Jewish, why would there need to be any discussion of conflict. So what if they are Jewish lesbians. What does that have to do with their donning teffilin and saying their prayers together. Seems to me that we have three different issues here...1, Who would find this alarming? 2) Why would this be considered a conflict? and 3) Why are assumptions made about a topic that has no bering on this photo of two people who have just prayed together?
