A fringe candidate, angry at being excluded from an upcoming forum at a Jewish temple, emailed antisemitic messages to local reporters and public figures.

Probably a synagogue, NOT a temple.

Well, it’s name is TEMPLE Sinai, where I’m confident members revere Karl Marx far more than Moshe Rabbeinu and Sinai.

No, ya can’t make this stuff up!

The difference being?

Please feel free to enlighten us 95% of all FReepers who are Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, Baptist, or what-not, and whose understanding of Judaism is based primarily on their limited familiarity with 1960s Borscht Belt comics.

Re: "Probably a synagogue, NOT a temple."

When I was growing up in the 1950s, I lived in a neighborhood that was about one third Jewish.

I clearly recall that many of my class mates would say they were going to or had been to "Temple."

Perhaps the word has fallen out of fashion, or it is just used by specific Jewish groups?
