After it was over the rabbi came by and said how much he appreciated our efforts all during the day. The Shabot service was overflowing with all kinds of people in support of the Jewish community. I was very proud to be a part of all that.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Baha'is don't so much discard the Quran as put it second behind Baha'i scriptures.Duane L.
