There is one holdout, though

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Interesting. Wonder about the Ethiopian eunuch mentioned in Acts who was a perhaps a Jewish proselyte…”who had come to Jerusalem to worship”
Complete with razor wire to keep the devil out, I see.
Learn something new everyday. I’ve never heard of a black Jew. Guess I just thought they were all white, in black, long curl sideburns and black hats. Not to be confused with Amish ya know.
I have had the pleasure of being in this shul a few years ago and have met some of the congrgants. It ia a wonderful place to daven , services start at about 10 a.m. I am sure that any jewish person would be welcome and feel comfortable. You should be aware that the service is sefardic. Your participation will help keep this wonderful shul in existance for many generations to come.
