The rabbi supports those overseeing Crimes Against humanity. He promotes and invites criminals in the CDC into the synagogue and bans members who speak out. Demand his resignation immediately. He behaves antithetically to Judaic Law
Beautiful building and extremely welcoming congregation.
My child was not safe here. The Temple has lied about what happened both to our family as well as to the community at large. A teacher was repeatedly exposing little kids to a toxic substance vaping and was protected by both the school as well as the temple for more than a year. In fact, this was brought to their attention many, many times and still they would not intervene on behalf of the little guys. I don't understand this nor do I feel good about a place that thinks this is OK. They lied to the parents numerous times and even sent a letter out to the entire community that they knew to be false. The folks at the highest positions of leadership still hold those positions.
We went there for a cousin's funeral! The rabbi did an absolutely beautiful speech talking about my cousin, relating stories about his life that are meaningful and memorable! We had a luncheon afterwards and the food was fantastic, and it was Mediterranean which my family and I love very much! The desserts looked amazing I shared a chocolate chip cookie with my husband and it actually turned out to be chocolate chunks and it was so good I would love to have eaten 50 of them! One of the people at the table with me that we met there had a brownie and she said it was divine! They served I believe tea and water maybe other things too they had veggie kabobs they had shish kabobs and hummus and little pizza squares and so many other things. Olives of a couple kinds of cheeses etc etc! But I really can't say enough about that rabbi. I heard from some people that he was new oh, but I thought he did an exceptional job and handled things and such a professional, soothing way! The room where we had lunch was very roomy as well, and could accommodate a lot of people!
I was invited by a friend for a singing performance/show. I was well received by friendly people and the event was nice. They have a good art showcase inside with a lot of history.
One of my favorite places to attend services! Friendly members and clergy, which is important. I love their adult learning classes, too.
The clergy and staff are approachable and genuine. Cantor Simmons is awesome. I have been happy with Becker and Helfman as places my daughter can grow and learn.
Small, old, expensive and Rabbi is not seasoned and says things like we will only read 1, 2,and 13 because those are my favorites. They skip around in the prayer book withoit telling you what page to go too.
I really enjoy the warmth our clergy bring to put service as well as the friendly congregation.
Had to buy a yarmulke and a mezuzah for a wedding some of the things were on sale it was great
