Exploring Sacred Spaces Ep. 3: Tied to the Lectern – A Hasidic Tale

Posted by Levi Cooper on August 3, 2023
Topics: The Maggid of Melbourne, Exploring Sacred Spaces

 

Join the Maggid of Melbourne as he continues his exploration of where the Hazzan (prayer leader) stands as he leads prayers. Levi brings in a tale of a Hasidic man who ties himself to the lectern during their service, confusing everyone in the synagogue. With this in mind, we’ll continue to look into the architectural design of synagogues, and how such stories can impact the architectural decisions we make.
