90th Pennsylvania Monument
Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg, PA
Monument located on Oak Ridge
According to legend, during the fighting on Oak Ridge during the first day of battle, an artillery shell smashed into a large oak tree, scattering branches and pieces of the splintered trunk down onto the soldiers below. A soldier with the 90th PA Infantry Regiment spotted a nest filled with baby robins that had survived their fall to the Earth. Right there in the heat of battle, the soldier picked up the nest and placed it back up in shattered tree. The sculpture of the mother robin sitting over her babies represents the regeneration of life and the dawn of a new era of tranquility and kindness.
Sadly, this was the case across the Confederate Army.

Sometimes I think our lives are just a reflection of the IS on the material universe. As the universe flows around us we are carried with the current to who knows where. To fight it would be futile and to go with the flow is the only viable alternative. Namaste my friends and may the Light of the Divine illuminate your souls!
The Lord Buddha once told a neophyte about receiving enlightenment. The neophyte thought he would be able to fly, read minds, tell the future and turn lead into gold! The Lord Buddha probably laughed his ass off at such impetuousness but told the neophyte: "Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water. After enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water."

May 1, 2022 - Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam at Mr. Visserplein 3. "The beautiful Portuguese Synagogue, also called the Esnoga, is one of the most important legacies of the vibrant Jewish community in Amsterdam. Until the Holocaust Jews made up more than 10% of the population of Amsterdam. During the 16th and 17th century, many Jews that faced persecution in Spain and Portugal fled to Amsterdam. The religious tolerance they enjoyed in the Dutch Republic was unheard of in the rest of Europe.
History of the Portuguese Synagogue
In 1665, the Jewish community decided to build a new synagogue. The new synagogue was to be the biggest in the world. Architects Elias Bouwman and Daniel Stalpaert were commissioned to build the synagogue. They started building in 1671 and in 1675 the Portuguese Synagogue was ready. It had cost the community not less than 186,000 florins. Minor restorations have been made but the synagogue still looks pretty much the same as 340 years ago.
Architecture of the Portuguese Synagogue
The architecture shows the self-confidence and wealth of the Jewish community in Amsterdam. It was the largest synagogue of its time and one of the biggest buildings of Amsterdam. A model of the Temple of Salomon in Jerusalem inspired the architects. Around the main building, there are various offices and archives, the rabbinate, a mortuary and the Ets Haim (Tree of Life) library that holds valuable collections of Sephardic manuscripts.
The Entrance
There is an inscription in Hebrew above the entrance that refers to Psalm 5:8: “In the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house" and mentions the date 1672. This date is an interesting curiosity: this was the year in which the synagogue was supposed to be ready. Because of the war in 1672, “The Year of Disaster” it was not possible to finish the construction of the Portuguese Synagogue until 1675.
Interior of the Portuguese Synagogue
Amsterdam SynagogueThe interior of the Portuguese Synagogue is of the longitudinal Iberian-Sephardic type. The striking wooden Ark and the Tebah are found at opposite ends of the interior. Seating is divided into two halves facing one another. The women’s gallery is supported by twelve stone columns, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. During service 1000 candles in two enormous brass chandeliers light the synagogue." Previous description: www.amsterdam.info/portuguese-synagogue/
