Know that many in Spokane’s own Jewish community are highly distressed due to Trump’s victory.

Unlike cities with larger Jewish populations, Spokane lacks a proper Judaica store. This means that when local Jews, or even non-Jewish Spokanites who are preternaturally fond of Judaism, want to purchase something that doesn’t just say “Jewish” but screams it, they must turn to the Internet.

It's a word that's used often, and comes with lots of different interpretations. So we put to the FāVS writers: How do you define spirituality?

Ashrei is a song of praise made up of psalm 145 with portions from Psalms 84, and 144.
