Yes! Let us pray.
Somebody needs to find a kippa for Bob.
…and the doll in his hand is a “minion” — homophone of “minyan”.
So he’s davening “with a minion”! Ha ! Ha!
G. M. Hopkins’s secret Jewish side :
I caught this morning morning’s minyan, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing
I don’t get it.
(I did a sneak edit, substituting ‘minyan’ for the original ‘minion’ in the first line.)
P.S. After consulting an expert in these matters, I’ve been informed that the miniature prayer associate in this picture is not “Bob”: his name is “Dave”.
On one of the news shows a rabbi was explaining that praying alone instead of with others is absolutely something Jews are allowed to do – my reaction to Robert was = what about prayers that need a minyan. Now I know the answer.
