The astronomical origin of this number is established beyond any doubt. Man, feeling himself time out of mind dependent upon the heavenly powers, ever and everywhere made earth subject to heaven. The largest and brightest of the luminaries thus became in his sight the most important and highest of powers; such were the planets which the whole antiquity numbered as seven. In course of time these were transformed into seven deities. The Egyptians had seven original and higher gods; the Phœnicians seven kabiris; the Persians, seven sacred horses of Mithra; the Parsees, seven angels opposed by seven demons, and seven celestial abodes paralleled by seven lower regions. To represent the more clearly this idea in its concrete form, the seven gods were often represented as one seven-headed deity. The whole heaven was subjected to the seven planets; hence, in nearly all the religious systems we find seven heavensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-7772226070180971702006-08-29T09:11:00.000-04:002006-08-29T09:11:00.000-04:00Not really..7!!!

I never liked my old shul and whenever I go back there I remind myself why I hated it.<BR/><BR/>But I liked the Minyan at Einstein when we lived there, and although I complain about my current shul, I suspect that if I ever left, I'd miss it bitterly.<BR/><BR/>First time I heard Soap quoted about a shul.
