Hi, Alan,

My Arieh Kaplan Bible has a diagram of an ancient temple.  It
seems a Jewish (or other nomenclature) temple has always had a
Holy of Holies.  In the very old days, it held the Host.
Nowadays, it holds all the Torahs.  If it held the Host, the 10
commandments, & the communications mechanism to God, it would
stand to reason that you didn't turn your back on it then either.

I know a few words of Yiddish.  You pick them up around Jewish
people in this country, most of whose ancestors came from Russia
& Poland..  German Jews didn't speak Yiddish.  They used a few
select Hebrew words, Germanized, but not Yiddish.  OK
Meschuggener?
