I pretty much grew up at Beth Chaim and experienced amazingly meaningful times there. They expanded about a decade ago to include wonderful classrooms for children of all ages, including study rooms for adults. This multifunctional building can be used to host a multitude of events and services. The people who work here are kind and friendly and are always a huge help. If you're new to the area, or you've just never stopped by, it's definitely worth a little time to check out the place and see all they have to offer. Amazing place, beautiful people, and a wonderful space to enjoy.

Personally I think the congregation is very lucky to have such a wise man leading them. He doesn't preach politics but examines issues and makes us reflect on how those issues apply to us and why we feel the way we do and what we can do to change our feelings if we need to or if they are in conflict with the scriptures. Frankly in all my years of attending churches of one denomination or another I am happiest here even though I am not a member. If anyone ever has a problem I suggest calling or emailing Rabbi Ira he's he best and I would trust his advice implicitly.

I went to a Bat Mitzvah yesterday for a co-worker's daughter - the first I'd ever been. This was…read morelike a wedding shindig or something... So the reception was here at the Marlboro Jewish Center. Plenty of parking, I think they had valet if you wanted too. Walked in, the place seemed decent enough; nothing exciting, but nothing bad to speak of. There was a coat check which I thought was good to have, and I think each room could probably handle 100-200 people. Anyway, so they had this reception set up in two separate rooms, and was catered by the center. The first was for the cocktail hour. I was greeted by "Cosmopolitan or Mojito?" when I first walked in. "Why yes, my man, I'll take a mojito." So my colleagues and I grab a table and proceed to the two long rows of appetizers. There was enough food here that I could have made dinner out of it. From sushi, to what looked like sushi but had a flaky bread wrapping and good size hunks of fish, to macaroni, chicken something, beef, breads, some pizza type thing, all kinds of stuff I can't even remember, some of which was new to me- and it was all quite tasty. They also had waiters walking around with more appetizers. And the full bar, which I noticed no one giving, nor did the servers seem to be looking for tips. That was odd, but hey, I'm not gonna complain. "Coffee martini, please? Thanks love." So after a while of that, we're asked to go to the next room, which is where they had the dancing and other fun, and the real meal. Choices were Salmon, Prime Rib and Chicken something. I got the salmon. Yo, I don't know where they caught this sucker but that was one huge chunk of salmon. I was stuffed before I was done, and it was terribly delicious. I heard the same from the others at my table who got the other selections. Dessert looked like a big hunk of chocolate cake was slammed into by a chunk of apple strudel. That would have been awesome, but something tasted funny about the strudel - my bosses husband agreed. I'm not complaining though, the cake was tasty and plentiful. They also had a station for ice cream (of which I indulged) and sno-cones and a chocolate fountain for dipping pretzels and whatnot. All in all I thought the event was awesome, and the catering (which was the best part about it) was handled expertly by the center. I found out later that my co-worker, who's daughter this was for, had her wedding reception here 18 years earlier, and that's why they chose it again because they loved it so much. The food was so good and plentiful that I started having thoughts of marrying into a Jewish family... And to end the evening, out of competition's sake, somehow I ended up on one knee singing Happy Birthday at the feet of the Bat Mitzvah herself. *Score one for Brian's team...
