ssullivan Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Its to be located on Richmond (near) and Wilcrest. My question is why are there two Synagogues near the same area?Can someone dig up some dirt for me Why can't there be two synagogues in the same area? Other faiths have multiple churches near each other. Sometimes people just prefer one over the other for their own personal reasons. I grew up in a town of 3,000 people yet it had at least 10 Baptist churches and three Churches of Christ. That's not counting the single LDS, United Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, and Episcopal churches. All this serving an area of about five square miles.

BayouCityGirl Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 easier question. Why are there two synagogues with the same name in this area? That's what I am more confused about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjb434 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 could it be that one synagogue will replace the other when it is finished?Many churches have to expand because of lack of facilities. And just renovating is not always the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
