It literaly means strange worship. Long Island, New York. Drop me a note if you need more specific details. I, and many others, find ourselves unable to come into the office to do any work for any extended period of time. I hate bringing visitors to the Temple because it smells so bad.
People even smoke at receptions in the social hall, which has minimal ventilation at best.
There is the usual North Dakota complaint that it's too cold in the winter to go outside. About six months ago we organized a Tot Shabbat at our schul that meets once a month. We invite children with their parents or grandparents, etc. for about a half hour and then join the adult service for a few concluding prayers. We then have kiddush and remain in the schul for a simple lunch together. It has been very successful.
