Continue with the Heritage Open weekend, we went to Leicester Synagogue. We were there early in the morning. Their plaques outside had a calendar year 58xx. I did not know Judaism believe in that too.
There were a lot of visitors. The guide was quite good, quite knowledgeable. She started the tour reminding us Jesus was a Jew. I was surprise that we could see behind the curtain, containing the Ark of Covenant. She mentioned there are a lot of rules could not be followed as there is no Temple. What an easy way to get out of all the tedious sacrifices!
I did learnt, that star of David was probably a recent invention, probably date back to 15th century, but probably not invented by David.
