Rabbi Ranon Teller and his daughter Nava Teller lead songs at a service during the observance of Yom Kippur by members of Congregation Brith Shalom synagogue at the Nature Discover Center Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022 in Houston, TX.Yoni, a boy made of felt with a thick Israeli accent and a porcupine companion, taught an audience of Jewish families gathering for Yom Kippur how to apologize for mistakes and wrongdoings, a theme of the holy day.
Nava said the family service has been adapted to be more engaging. Children were called up to help lead songs throughout the service. About 300 families rsvp’d for the event. An organizer of the service, Erin Lepselter, said Birth Shalom has about 500 family units in their congregation. White folding chairs were set up on the center’s front lawn, framed by trees that blocked the sun, making for a comfortable 70 degree morning. As people walked in wearing white, a table had all they needed for the service: prayer books, kippahs and insect repellent. Police officers attended for security.

Quantum wake dynamics in Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains - Nature CommunicationsIt has long been suggested that the inverse Fourier transform of neutron scattering data gives access to space- and time-resolved spin-spin correlations. Scheie et al. perform this procedure on high-precision experimental data from a 1D quantum antiferromagnet and uncover new features in short-term quench dynamics.
