Saw and heard them from my bike doing their saturday prayers from their porches yesterday afternoon, haunting and otherworldly. I felt a bit intrusive but may have to do a longer tour next weekend it was so cool.

I’m in Mile End but on a Hassidic street. It may seem quaint or whatever if you only see it once or twice but hearing it every morning and every night .. I don’t begrudge them their prayers, they need to do them somewhere and if standing on your stoop in eyeshot of your fellows counts as a minyan, well so be it.
… the phrase “8 o’clock, time for chanting” has become a running gag in my house. I can hear them quite clearly in my home office, I have taken to working with headphones on at least for the first part of the remote classes I teach every day.
