Jehovah's Witnesses world HQ
About 40 miles northwest of a bustling New York City, a 45-acre complex sits on a tranquil lake in Warwick, New York. The new world headquarters, which opened last year, is home to about 800 Jehovah's Witnesses, who are volunteers that live, eat, and work here. Brooklyn was their home base for more than 100 years; 60 of those years inside the iconic Watchtower building in Brooklyn Heights. When they came to Warwick to build, the group tried to impact the natural environment as little as possible.

NYC Houses of Worship: Eldridge Street Synagogue
It is not what you'd expect to find in the middle of Chinatown but the Eldridge Street Synagogue has been a fixture on the Lower East Side for more than a century. Built in 1886, the Jewish temple's history is just as incredible as its architecture. Back in the 1880s, the Lower East Side was a portal for immigration. Most Jews who came through were Eastern European, also known as Ashkenazi Jews.

Being Muslim and female in New York

NJ says religious site needs to go
Underneath Route 21 in Passaic, New Jersey, is a chapel with fresh flowers, candles, and images of la Virgin De Guadalupe. In 2004 the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to some in a tree trunk on the corner of Madison Street and Hope Avenue. Religious members of the community began gathering at the site to pray.

The Big Idea: Prayer triggers brain rewards
A spiritual feeling of being relaxed, centered, reassured and grounded that many people of faith describe may now be supported by science. Dr. Jeffrey Anderson of the University of Utah conducted a research study with a group of devout Mormons. They agreed to have their brains scanned with MRI machines while they were watching videos or reading about spiritual things. They talked about feelings of peace and physical sensations of warmth. Researchers said some were in tears by the end of the scan. The regions of the brain that lit up were part of the reward circuit of the brain.
