We joined Rumson Jewish Center at Congregation B'Nai Israel last summer after having been long-time congregants at a temple in Manalapan, NJ. In our short time at Congregation B'Nai Israel, we have been overwhelmed with how warm, friendly and welcoming the staff and the congregation have been to us. They seek to make you feel as you have a second home there and hold frequent catered events in connection with the Jewish holidays to engage you. People are getting the word about what a great place this is as the religious school has been growing exponentially. Security at the temple is also top notch and very friendly. For us, it has been worth travelling 3 times as far to this new congregation and find that we are attending many more events there than we did at our prior temple. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more
