only one), which is both transcendent
(wholly independent of, and removed
from, the material universe) and
immanent (involved in the material
universe).

A synagogue is a space for worship
and prayer. Jews believe it is good
to pray together, but there must be
a minimum of ten people present
for certain prayers to be said. This
is called a minyan . The synagogue
is an important centre for Jewish
communities where meetings take
place and social gatherings
happen.
