Post a CommentHi, Jack --
Thanks for your comment. I think perhaps you were intending to leave your thoughts on my Temple Har Shalom in Park City article:

I thought I'd just note this for others who might be interested.
Thanks again. Best wishes.
Wow, thank you for this. I had no idea. I would go out of my way to see this. The Bible tells us to pray for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem and Paul says that we owe a great deal the the Jews. I love this. Well done.
