It is believed that when they were given, God stood on a blue colored pavement.<br /><br />Anyway, the stripes in the prayer shawls of the people praying at the synagogue are blue (and by the way Israel's flag colors are blue and white).DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-25868427648284857802018-02-15T17:43:08.153+02:002018-02-15T17:43:08.153+02:00Very beautiful photos, Duta!

I've always been curious, and should've asked my Jewish friends - I'm wondering why the color blue seems to be associated with synagogues, Hanukkah, etc. You would never know by looking at the facade how exquisite the interior is! Very different from our Methodist church.
