My third-sto­ry apart­ment in Jerusalem gets pleas­ant breezes on warm days, so I often leave the win­dows open. My win­dow screens, how­ev­er, have proven to be remark­ably inef­fec­tive at keep­ing bugs out. I have to accept some bad with the good. My book, Archi­tec­Torah: Ideas in Judaism and the Week­ly Torah Por­tion, focus­es on the many places where Judaism inter­acts with archi­tec­ture. The win­dow presents a per­fect exam­ple of this intersection.
