My heart’s desire is to visit this Temple someday and sing the Shema within its walls.

Shalom,
Tom

Does the shape of the stained glass window represent the Hebrew letter Chet in a modernized font? Chet is the fist letter in the word Chai which means life in Hebrew. “Come, celebrate life with us” is a theme of the temple as mentioned in the article.

Anyway, my own spiritual life has been enriched by participating in Torah studies and other services at a Jewish temple in my own area. Best wishes to Temple Har Shalom.

Yeah, the government handled it all wrong. Polygamy is against the laws in the US though, isn’t it? They should have known that.

We seldom discuss this in our LDS meetings… but there are some of us who look forward to the time when “the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.”

Nice article and well put.
It is against my faith (jewish) to try to convert another… in fact, if you try to convert to judism, you will find the path arduous, and they will traditionally reject you three times! So, missionaries are pretty unsettling to us! Lol.

However, I am in the best relationship I have ever had, with a man I very well may end up marrying, who comes from a very devout LDS background. Once I got over my prejudices, I found many interesting similarities. Although, Jews are always suspect of “new” religions… especially because there are so many artifacts of our faith, and “proof” so to speak to validate the beliefs. Mormons are still digging (literally in some places) for artifacts and proof of theirs.

There is much interesting discussion to be had between us.

I am wondering if there are any other Mormon-Jewish interfaith couples out there? I was just searching on the internet when I found this site… would be a good blog.

Thanks again!
