Sent: Fri 1/13/2012 5:32 PM Subject: Re: H-JUDAIC Digest - 11 Jan 2012 to 12 Jan 2012 (#2012-8) Response to: "Orientation of the synagogue," H-JUDAIC, Thursday, Jan 12. I cite several ways the Zohar advises about the orientation of the synagogue, including toward Jerusalem: "The Zohar and the Polish Synagogue: The Practical Influence of a Sacred Text," in The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy, vol 9, 2000, pp. 173-250. These architectural directives are frequently accompanied by advice about the directionality of pray, typically directed toward both heavenly and earthly equivalents of synagogues, Temples, and sacred places.
