    Letter passed out during the event in question.

    My original review was removed based on the allegation that I did not witness these events first hand. I did witness these events first hand. Shomrei Torah should be ashamed not only for its original conduct, but further for lying about my presence in order to have the accurate review removed. Original review: Very sad to hear that one of my long standing friends was barred from his grandson's Bar Mitzvah due to an estrangement with his daughter. He sought only to sit quietly in the back to watch, listen, and leave. He was willing to respect the no contact request from his daughter. He was met by security which informed this disabled Vietnam Vet that he would be handcuffed and held for arrest for trespassing should he enter the property. This is a shonda and contrary to all Jewish law and tradition.

    Temple Aliyah, founded in 1962, is a warm and friendly Conservative Jewish congregation, located in…read morethe heart of the West San Fernando Valley in Woodland Hills, California. We're large enough to be a full-service congregation that offers you and your family every opportunity to expand your Jewish horizons. But we're small enough for you to feel known and welcome. Everyone's unique. Yet no matter where you are in your life, you can experience Jewish life to its fullest with Aliyah. Some look to a synagogue for inspiring messages from the Rabbis. Others want songful prayers from the Hazzanim (Cantors). Still others simply want to be part of a social congregation and participate in programs that exemplify Jewish living. At Aliyah, you'll find exactly what you want -- in a home for long-term spiritual growth that celebrates every step of the journey. For many generations of Jewish families in the West San Fernando and Conejo Valleys, Aliyah has been a place of hope, a place to learn, and a place to come together in times of celebration, as well as mourning. We are proud to provide a multitude of community services for our congregants and the public, including preschool care with award winning faculty, religious school, B'nai Mitzvah celebrations, marriages, funeral services, onsite kosher catering for any event, facility rentals, and so much more! At Aliyah, we take pride in our synagogue and everyone that walks through our doors, because every single person adds their unique touch to this community. Among our congregants, Aliyah has the dual blessing of deeply engaged generations-long members as well as newcomers who dive into Synagogue life enthusiastically. This union of existing and new members is a strong foundation on which our plans for the future may be built. Aliyah welcomes individuals, couples and families of all backgrounds - including interfaith, single-parent, blended families and individuals with special needs - we believe Aliyah can be a spiritual home for everyone.

    This High Holiday marks my 16 th year at Temple Aliyah. I started many years ago as a single parent…read moreraising three young Girls. Temple Aliyah is directly responsible in aiding me in my resolve to provide a Jewish education to my children. From the Rabbis' who personally provided assistance and support when a child of mine expressed interest in Hebrew High to the all accommodating staff and administration that pledged, allocated, and distributed funding so that we my girls and I could become members. The religious school education that was made available to my youngest, dispensed, and delivered a true love for our rich tradition. I could stop now but that would be remiss of me.. You see those years of Jewish education and identity helped produce children who spent years living in Israel, searching out Temple membership independent of their mother in states all outside California, and now a new generation of continued ritual and love for our ancient and rich tapestry. Many years later, I remarried and my husband who is a New Yorker and Jewish.. meaning for the most part.. bar mitzvahed.. where Jewish ed typically ends... had no real affiliation or accord with Judaic ritual i.e Shabbat etc.. suddenly became very interested, actually short of insistence on ceremonial Friday night ritual of Candle Lighting, Kiddush,Challah etc. He even enrolled in two courses related to baking Challah! In his many conversations with Rabbi Stewart Vogel, my husband ( the scientist) was able to finally explain to me where religion and science meet rather than part! Something I had struggled with my entire life. And.. of course R. Vogel married us! Through the last 16 years I have been honored to be a part of a most progressive temple. Witnessing real and meaningful care and concern, participation, creative brilliant programs.. and they keep coming! What Temple Aliyah has made available to me is not something that this yelp review can contain..( wait for the book) ha! The friendships, the adult education, the "To everything there is a season." If you are in search of a Temple.. come to Aliyah and be filled with joy and welcomed with those who truly embrace Chesed.. Loving Kindness!

Rabbi Paul, Cantor Doug and Hebrew Tutor Diane were more incredible than you can imagine! We received so many compliments from our guests how special the service was and warm and inspiring. They all make it all about the celebration of the the Bat/Bar Mitzvah! The staff is so helpful and friendly when planning the service and I had the lunch in the lobby after the service. It was a perfect venue!

We adore Rabbi Paul, Rabbi Julia and Cantor Doug. Thanks to Cantor Doug, a Grammy award winner and third generation cantor, we are a musical congregation with lots of community participation. Services are always different - from traditional Friday night Shabbat to hiking or meditation Shabbat (and more!). Or Ami is a super warm community and it is very easy to get involved. There really is something for everyone. My kids / teens adore the programs and are very active. For adults there are non-stop activities including The Business Roundtable, wine tastings, and countless ongoing volunteer opportunities to give back within the bigger community. Come check us out!
