What time of day are Muslims' Friday prayers? Doesn't this conflict with the synagogue's regular Shabbat service?

Learned Mother Of Zion,

I think Pam's head will explode when she sees this. I'm going to tell her. :)

Shabbat service is Friday night, Muslim Friday prayers would be earlier in the day. I am pretty sure that the temple has worked out a schedule.

There's a video at the link, but they don't provide an embed code.

Great story, thanks for posting it. ;)

Yep, the Friday prayer is always around midday. The prayer time begins just after high (solar) noon, but on Fridays the big congregational prayer is preceded by a sermon which is usually fairly short (i.e. about 20-30 minutes, nothing like the seemingly interminable Sunday masses of my childhood, heh).

Thanks! ;) I just found out we have one more day, so Eid isn't until Sunday. There was some explanation about the astronomical new moon, moonset, sunset...it pretty much made my eyes glaze over.

If it's a bigger synagogue, they may have multiple places where services can be held. The place down the street from my parents isn't a BIG shul, but they've got a small downstairs chapel, a main sanctuary, and a multi-use auditorium with a mobile ark that is also used for some services. They may have scheduled around, or they may just have set it up so that the mosque can use spaces that aren't being used for erev Shabbos services.

Why Hate Groups Continue to Exist in 2013
Fifty years ago, African-Americans were targets of the Ku Klux Klan's violent hate agenda as the Civil Rights movement gained steam in desegregating public institutions across the South. The Birmingham church bombings, which killed four little girls in 1963, was one of the most violent crimes the Ku Klux Klan has been responsible for in attacking Black Americans (on Friday, the president signed ...

Obamacare Will Be a Debacle — for Republicans
Well, the preliminary numbers for CA are in -- and they're looking very good, with costs coming in below expectations. At this point, it looks as if this thing is indeed going to work. And think about the political dynamics. Because the Supreme Court decided to let states opt out of the Medicaid expansion, some states -- notably Texas -- will have a ...

An Interplanetary GPS Using Pulsar Signals
Spacecraft could determine their position anywhere in the solar system to within five kilometres using signals from x-ray pulsars, say astronomers. Navigating in space is a tricky business. The usual method relies on Earth-based tracking stations to work out a spacecraft's distance using radio waves, a process that is accurate to within a metre or so. That's fine for the radial distance, but ...

SIGN THE PETITION, learn about it: Feminist Campus - Campaign to Expose Fake Clinics
"Crisis Pregnancy Centers" (CPCs) or Pregnancy Resource Centers advertise on your campus and in your community. They pose as comprehensive women's health clinics and advertise under "abortion" and "family planning" services, but do not offer abortion services, contraception, or referrals. CPCs often provide false information about abortion, birth control, and the effectiveness of condoms for the prevention of STIs and HIV. Ultimately, their ...

4 Reasons ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ Is Secretly About Drugs
Nice, right? Anyway, here's my thesis: Raiders of the Lost Ark is not an action-adventure movie about an archaeologist who plays by his own rules and saves the day. Instead, the film is an exploration of Marion Ravenwood's crippling drug addiction. An addiction that was born from her unhealthy relationship and continued association with Indiana Jones. Is it true? Who cares. Can I prove ...

WAPO’s Glenn Kessler Gives Three “Pinocchios” To Claim of Doctored Emails
It has long been part of the Washington game for officials to discredit a news story by playing up errors in a relatively small part of it. Pfeiffer gives the impression that GOP operatives deliberately tried to "smear the president" with false, doctored e-mails. But the reporters involved have indicated they were told by their sources that these were summaries, taken from notes ...
