From The New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/09/nyregion/09CIRC.html?ei=5070&en=09781b555fa59470&ex=1091851200&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1091763191-KfOg+RhcGm/9qc+REXQu/w
Here's how to make the circus kosher for Passover:
Sell hot dogs without rolls and buy two brand-new cotton candy machines — uncontaminated by any leavened products — so thousands of observant Jewish children can have this circus treat.
Insist there be no female performers, including the Lycra-clad star aerialist and horse trainer Sylvia Zerbini, a k a the Circus Siren, since the most rigorously observant Jews require modest dress of women.
Hope that the New York Rangers don't make it into the hockey playoffs (not really a problem), so that Madison Square Garden would be available yesterday — the only day such a special performance could be held on this year's quirky Passover calendar.
That's how an Orthodox group in Brooklyn made it possible yesterday for 19,000 men, women and children to exult in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus at the Garden, and fulfill the Torah commandment to be joyful on Passover.
It was Ringling Brothers' first kosher performance.

I saw them praying in New York one time and at a place in Los Angeles when they were dovoning I think that's how you spell that...
I realize that being serious in prayer is for comfort in fact I have to do it often )
I have been to many of worship services, I went to a Black church one time boy can they get into it, they got the spirit going all over the place, at first I was kind of shy but then after awhile I was clapping and getting the spirit of GOD too, Gospel Singers just have such powerful voices and somehow that can bring a spiritual type of feeling when praying to GOD...
I find it peaceful listening to harps and flutes in church..
Did you go to this circus? looks and sounds like they are having fun.....
