We became members of Temple Bat Yam 2 years ago and immediately experienced the warm and welcoming promise stated in the TBY logo slogan. Although we initially joined for the spiritual and ritual aspects we quickly realized there was so much more to become involved with. We particularly like the Temple's commitment to the concept of Tikkum Olem (acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world). All are welcome with open arms. We can't wait to be together again in person with Rabbi Spey and the rest of the congregation.

They replaced worship with acts of what they perceive as Justice. In other words, sadly, they are a tv commercial for all things Democrat. There is no room for any diversity of thought. If you think Trump is more likely to end the war and bring home the hostages you will feel extreme discomfort here. If you think anti semitismm comes from Democrats and the Left ( which of course it does!) then do not stop foot here. If you are very much a left winger you will like it here and this shul is a 5.

Whenever I visit them we go, usually on Saturday night 5 pm mass. I really enjoy the country and rustic feel that they offer. They have high vaulted ceilings that make it seem more open. However, the lighting is really bad, it's the harsh yellow lights and the sound system is horrible. Depending on where you sit, it is so hard to hear the priest. I really feel bad for saying anything negative about a church but it is simple steps that they could change to make all the difference.

Occasionally, I see a review for a church, but rarely a synagogue, so I thought I would sing the praises of the synagogue where my family has been a member for 3 years, Temple Ramat Shalom. Ramat Shalom is an intimate, community oriented congregation that welcomes families, single adults, and people from all Jewish backgrounds, including interfaith families. When you walk into a service at Ramat Shalom, the staff and congregation are casual, very friendly, warm, and welcoming. The friendly spirit here starts at the top with Rabbi Andrew, a wonderful teacher, spiritual leader, and caring friend. He has been a cheerleader in times of joy and a great comfort in times of sorrow. He speaks to you like a "real person and friend", which is something I have not always seen rabbis or religious leaders do. Our Cantorial Soloist Debbie recently started with Ramat Shalom but I believe she fits right in and has been doing a fantastic job. She has an awesome voice and rocked a packed house with a "Rock Shabbat" last week . Not all services are "rock" but most do revolve around music. To me, this is a very fun and spirited type of service, not like the boring and dour services I grew up going to. Children are very important at Ramat Shalom. Little kids will never get stern looks if they make noise during services. There is a one day a week Hebrew School on Sundays and plenty of activities for both younger and older children. We do our best to get to services and get our kids to Hebrew School, but what I love about thiscongregation is that there is no judgment. The Temple is very understanding of our very busy lives (work, school, family, sports) and appreciates that we so our best.! We certainly appreciate Temple Ramat Shalom's warm caring, and understanding attitude.

Never have I felt more welcome in a temple than Ramat Shalom. The services on Friday night are…read moreinformal and inviting, and there are many people in my age range, as well as others...
