A footnote from yesterday.  After Florin and I ate at the Jewish restaurant, we decided to visit the synagogue around the corner.  We enter and saw a few groups of rabbis and students discussing the Talmud.  We sat quietly in the last row.  We weren't there long before an old rabbi came in and shouted at us.  We were indecent because we weren't wearing yarmulkas.  So we sheepishly left.
