From what I can see, that synogogue is really beautiful. I almost wish one could airlift up it and take it to Israel. How many Jews are left in Berlin, anyway?

“Psychiatrists Are The Least Religious Of All Physicians”

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070903094243.htm

“Among psychiatrists who have a religion, more than twice as many are Jewish and far fewer are Protestant or Catholic, the two most common religions among physicians overall”

It was also hard to find, which is amazing considering its historic significance and sheer size.
I have mixed feelings about Jews moving to Germany, but it would have been a crime to let this magnificent building continue to crumble.
By the way, that synagogue did not have armed guards in 1983, but the Fasanenstrasse shul in Munich did, and you had to present your passport in order to be allowed in.

I especially love the poignant example of Rabbi Trepp. I’m happy he was able to see the synagogue revived after all these years!

Why isn’t the gun infested US requiring such?
