My suggested questions and/or comments: I can't answer the questions, but I have a question of by own. In Acts of the New Testament it mentioned that in Philippi there weren't enough Jews to have a Synagogue. My footnote said that at least 10 people were required. I would like to know if this is correct and what positions these 10 people would have. Thanks.

My suggested questions and/or comments:
About me: shalom jordan, i would like to let you know a little bit, not about myself but, about our Liberaal Joodse Lernminjan Noord Nederland. You said it is difficult to pronounce and i can imagine so but of course it is dutch. it stands for progressive jewish learner's minyan in the north of holland. i started this group one and a half year ago and we are still growing. at our meetings on sjabbathmorning or fridayevening we usually have 20 - 25 persons. we are very content about this but hope to grow further and finally will be able to become a congregation for progressive judaism in the north of holland. nothing like this still exists so we are convinced we will succeed. as many of our members are not at all brought up jewish - so don't know any hebrew - the initiative is so very worthwhile we would not know what to do without it. as we don't have a cantor of our own we have to rely on cantors coming to us. we have services every three weeks. as we feel the need to become selfsupporting some of us have started to learn to become ba'al tefilla. the cantor of the progressive congregation in Amsterdam comes to us to teach us. i thought you might like to know this. you in USA probabply cannot imagine the scale on which jewish life in holland and especially in the "mediene" (outskirts) exists. shabbat shalom, emanta koster, friesland

My suggested questions and/or comments: Hi. I read q 7 which spoke of shir hashirim. You should note that in some shuls shir hashirim is only read on the sabbath of passover, but in sfard shuls it is read every single shabbat. And since sfardim make up like half the jews of the world, i think you should be careful to include their customs too
