Day 236

The circular speaker-looking thing on the roof, roughly in the center of the photo, is one of the air raid Shabbat sirens located around South Williamsburg. It's powered by a cable running from the synagogue on the left, but it's mounted atop the adjacent apartment building, which would seem to nullify its exemption from the city's noise code, as it is not "on or within" a house of worship (unless, of course, the apartment building is somehow part of the synagogue).
