We first experienced the warmth and welcoming community of Temple Beth Or about 5 years ago. We had…read morerecently moved to the area and were greeted as if we immediately belonged. Rabbi Marshall did our son's baby naming and since then we have gotten more and more involved. The level of religious observation runs from super secular to atheist/culturally Jewish to people who keep Shabbat in a strict sense. All are welcomed. With the addition of Rabbi Kort, the synagogue community is headed to even greater heights. We have made some of our closest friends at TBO and look forward to the future we can create there. We hope to meet you soon!

The "rock-star Rabbi" who was here for four years moved on which was a loss. Over the years, depending upon the leadership, the atmosphere, flexibility, and welcomeness waxes and wanes. When we first arrived, we felt extremely unwelcome. Then, for several years it felt like a very warm, fulfilling, active, growing community! And then it didn't. My recommendation is to drop in (when there's a service or class) as it might just be your perfect place. And then again, it might also not be. But one thing's for sure: you won't know without trying it. Wishing you the best!!!

I was extremely skeptical of a "meditative synagogue," since I'm well-aware of the celebrity pseudo-Kabbalah "Kabbalah Center" trend. But this congregation is uplifting, mystical, and genuine. It truly embodies the mystic Jewish tradition without new age weirdness. There are no gimmicks. At so many other services, you don't feel like you're really digesting the Torah portion. Here, guided meditation forces you to think about the deeper implications of the text and its applications. And, as a person who has never successfully meditated before, I was able to meditate on the Torah passage with great success and find it more relevant than ever before. Converts, potential converts, and non-Jewish alike will also find a welcoming home here - none of that "cold shoulder" nonsense here, but genuine curiosity and acceptance.
