This episode discusses how it can be more difficult to connect with God in synagogue than, say, nature (which is how Dov feels), but also how the beauty and community of a synagogue makes it easier for some to be spiritually connected (how Abby feels). They also talk about the communal importance of the act of building a spiritual place, and why the process of a community coming together in a religious project can be just as meaningful as the end result.Learn more about your ad choices.
