\"At
At Beth Jacob in San Diego, CA<\/figcaption><\/figure>The horrific attack in Har Nof made this a most difficult week in Israel, and for Jews around the world. Conventional wisdom has it that no two humans are separated by any more than six degrees of separation. But most any member of a Jewish community knows that just two \u2014 perhaps three \u2014 points, at most, set them apart. <\/p>\n

\"At
At Shaare Tefilla in Dallas, TX<\/figcaption><\/figure>Early Tuesday, when we learned that three American olim and a fourth from the United Kingdom had been murdered, including a grandson of Rabbi Joseph D. Soloveitchik zt\u201dl, along with a heroic police officer from Israel\u2019s Druze community, the tragedy felt as if it almost couldn\u2019t have hit any closer to home. And of course, a number of other people are still fighting to recover from grievous wounds.<\/p>\n

The Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America in a joint statement Tuesday said that the desecration of a single shul in Har Nof was a desecration of all batei tefilah. Later they suggested that shuls in North America gather for Tehillim that night and many quickly agreed, including more than two-dozen congregations who emailed the OU\u2019s Synagogue Services office that they planned to participate: <\/p>\n
