The rabbi is very thoughtful adding somewhat of an east coast ethos to his erudite Jewish training that keeps things very interesting. I stumble along to follow the Hebrew throughout the service but find the Shabbat respite to be worthwhile even with my limitations. It is worth mentioning the building and facilities are superlative.

I love to cook and the folks here who put on the cooking classes do a tremendous job teaching the kids about cooking and the cultures whose foods we are preparing.

Recipe cards are available for the children to take so they can cook their new foods at home with their families. What fun!

It is a very personal experience with a small congregation!
