Juxtaposition

On my way to work:

As we are trudging through the Lincoln Tunnel (does it ever end?), I see the Monroe Bus driving alongside us. Having a slight fascination for Hasidim, I peer through my window and into theirs, and see quite a few men wrapped in their tallesim, tefillin on heads, davening. The driver of the bus (thankfully not davening), has a long beard and is wearing a little black hat. What a cool sight!

As I am walking from the bus station to my office, I pass a Muslim restaurant. In the window is a sign saying "Friday prayer time - 1:15 PM." I wonder what they look like when they are praying.

How similar we all are!
