A gorgeous, long-lost mural of the 10 Commandments has been uncovered, offering a glimpse into a vanished art style:
A long-lost relic of Jewish folk art has been revealed after being hidden—but not forgotten—behind a wall for more than 30 years.

The project’s site says itinerant peddlers from Čekiškė, Lithuania, built the Ohavi Zedek synagogue in 1887. Two years later, Burlington’s Jewish community had grown to 150 residents, so they broke ground that year on Chai Adam. The classic wooden synagogue became their second house of worship, just 500 feet from the city’s first.
Chai Adam didn’t call on Black again. The synagogue closed in 1939 and merged with the congregation of Ohavi Zedek.

The Hidden Power of Workplace RitualsEmployees rightly expect to be able to bring their feelings — big and small — to work. One important way to provide that support is through rituals. The author defines rituals using two important benchmarks. First, rituals go beyond their practical purpose, moving participants beyond transaction and into meaning. For instance, lighting a candle when the lights go out isn’t a ritual, but turning off the lights and lighting a candle at sundown is. Second, rituals are sorely missed when they’re taken away. The author presents a case study from a company that took a risk in real time and created a successful response to a tragedy, and over time, that response became a ritual. Here’s how they did it, and how leaders can better understand their own rituals — both current ones and those that have yet to be discovered.
