Prayer flags set against a very modern (in the artistic sense) concrete structure. I like the juxtaposition of ideologies. It seems consistent with the agenda of the Dalai Lama: the blurring of the lines between western and eastern thought, science and spirituality interwoven into one beautiful tapestry...
Yeah, what he said.

By the time I was born my father had become an atheist, and remained so for the rest of his life. After he died I found relics of his earlier life in the bottom drawer of his dresser; other items stored there included a tallit (prayer shawl) and tefillin (phylacteries). These books likely traveled with him through Europe during World War II. I was fascinated to find these, since I grew up largely non-observant. My own spirituality is not tied to any one religion, though Judaism (and my interpretation of it) is where my roots lie.
The Jewish Holy Scriptures, Presented by the Army of the United States on the left is hardcover, contains only English text, and was printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1942. It also bears a 1917 copyright by the Jewish Publication Society of America, so was likely also used by Jews fighting in World War I. It contains excerpts from the Tanakh (known more commonly as the "Old Testament"). Photographed in slightly smaller scale, it measures 5-1/4 x 3-1/4 inches.
The Prayer Book Abridged for Jews in the Armed Forces of the United States on the right is paperback, with its spine on the right rather than the left and with its pages numbered from right to left. It contains specific prayers rather than Biblical passages (although it does contain some of the Psalms). These include prayers for the Sabbath and High Holy Days, the Mourner's Kaddish, and others that include a memorial prayer for those fallen in battle, prayer on being delivered from danger, prayers for the sick and wounded, prayer during a sea voyage, prayer for the U.S., prayer for moral strength, prayer for home, etc. Right-hand pages are in Hebrew, left-hand pages in English. This book was published not by the U.S. government but by the National Jewish Welfare Board (printed by the Jewish Publication Society), copyright 1941 and 1943. Its original edition of 250,000 copies had been printed in 1917. The two editions printed during World War II number 400,000 and 800,000 copies, respectively. It measures 5 x 3-1/4 inches.

"We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children ... We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us."

Prayer was the ultimate joy for the Prophet ﷺ; it was his source of relief and happiness. Allah’s Apostle ﷺ loved to offer prayer and claimed it as a resource of his comfort and relief. He ﷺ used to stand in prayers for long hours besides the five obligatory prayers.

I carved the Lord's Prayer in this oak faced pallet which I found washed up on a beach in Ibiza, Spain. It took me a week, a line a day roughly, using just a stanley knife to carve the lettering. It was a joy to do it. I started it on the beach and then moved up into a forest overlooking a beautiful bay. A very tranquil week's work!

Took a tour of the Loews Valencia Theater in Jamaica, Queens on 09.27.14. The former movie house is now home to the Tabernacle of Prayer congregation.
More info about the place :
The Valencia opened in 1929 with 3,440 seats in ''a most elaborate development of Mexican Spanish ornament,'' as Architecture and Building magazine put it.
A long entry gallery off Jamaica Avenue is more Persian than anything else, a riot of scupltured, gilded plaster screens and balconies. Slightly offset from this is a long foyer across the back of the auditorium, only slightly more subdued.
The vast auditorium itself will make even the most jaded architectural pilgrim gasp, or even kneel. The room is ringed by high walls, statues, parapets and towers, asymmetrically arranged and all elaborately baroque. The proscenium arch is formed by a succession of statuary niches. But the ceiling is completely plain, a sky blue - as if the auditorium is a courtyard open to the sky.
This is one of John Eberson's atmospheric theaters. Eberson developed the atmosphere theater in Houston in 1923 and designed more than 100 until 1930. Jane Preddy, the expert on Eberson's work, called the Valencia ''the most elaborate atmospheric theater in the New York region, easily among the 10 most significant theater interiors to survive.''
Of the five ''wonder theaters,'' the Paradise in the Bronx was substantially altered in a conversion to a multiplex in the 1970's, but the others are reasonably intact - so far. The King's is awaiting a city-organized reuse, the Jersey is closed but in the middle of a preservation dispute and the 175th Street, like the Valencia, is a church.
