Some thoughts for the 9 days
Rabbi Hisda said, a synagogue should not be demolished before another has been built to take its place.
Some say the reason is lest the matter should be neglected, others to prevent any interruption of religious worship.
Rabbi Ashi, who, observing cracks in the synagogue of Matha Mehasia, had it pulled down. He then took his bed there and did not remove it until the guttersof the new building had been completed.
