it's one of the most harmful beliefs in Judaism is that Judaism belongs in the synagogue it's just not true Judaism belongs wherever you are because you're not Jewish because of where you are you're Jewish Because of Who You Are so if you look in this week's Torah portion God destroys the entire world with a flood he tells Noah go into that Tava go into that Ark of the hashemtov explains that the word Tava Hebrew word for Ark Teva literally translates as word go into the words invest yourself in the words of prayer you ought to be safe from the tumult from the flood of the world invest yourself into the words of prayer but then ironically God tells Noah get out of that table when it was time to leave why would he need to leave prayer inevitably you got to stop praying but why would God tell him stop praying get out of prayer you're done and the answer is because you can't just stay in your spiritual cocoon you got to take that spiritual spirituality with you back to the real world one of the most annoying things to me after a holiday of inspirational holiday it's at the end people say okay back to the real world as if we're leaving everything behind and just going back to life and it's not true we got to merge the Two Worlds we got to live a spiritually uplifting life in our everyday existence Shabbos has to bless our week our week has to a transition into Shabbos the spiritual and material world aren't two different places and with that attitude God could be comfortable in our world we could be more comfortable to sell that's my story and I'm sticking to it
