Sanctuary. What does that word mean to you? I’m guessing it probably means a place of calm, of beauty, of safety. For us Jews, the main prayer area in our synagogues is called the “sanctuary.” We may say, “We’re going to Temple for high holidays” or “Yes, I belong to a synagogue,” but when it comes to the actual place we pray and celebrate and mourn, it’s in “the sanctuary.”
