This Synagogue has passionate Hebrew chanting led by a great woman Cantor, and an inspiring Rabbi leads spiritual discussions that include the opinions of the congregants which are interwoven into the services. A great place for Jews by Choice, and Patrilineal Jews because of this Temple's inclusive and welcoming attitude.

There have been some really cool shopping app recommendations over the past couple of days...I ended up downloading the 'Should I Buy It?' app someone recommended and it is awesome! I was shopping for shoes and was able to quickly share them with my friends to see what they thought of them. Here is the link again to download:

A warm, friendly community which maintains ties to Israel as well as throughout the US Reform world and local interfaith community. Come visit and stay!
