I discovered Adath Israel a little more than 3 years. Coincidentally, the Friday night we attended…read morethe congregation was celebrating moving into their new building. The place was jammed. Everyone was happy. The new building is spacious, modern, yet cozy. The congregants were very welcomming. The Rabbi (on the young side with 3 young children) seemed very affable and had a great singing voice. (I latter learned he had been a Cantor.) The service was relaxed and surprisingly engageing. (At least it surprised me.) We were searching for a synaguge mainly for our 2 boys then 6 and 8. To be continued - My son now 11 is requesting the computer to play his games.

You are reminded that cameras are not allowed and phones must be turned off. The service started promptly at 10:00am. Pews are close and low but comfortable. The Synagogue is decorated with religious symbols on the walls. It has high ceilings and on the backs of the pews are name plates for parishioners who've donated to the Synagogue. These plates are also displayed at the entrance and in the encased glass in the lobby. Gorgeous wooden ark holds the Torahs on the alter wall. The Bar Mitzvah service is interactive ( call & response) and engaging, simply one of the most beautiful church services I've ever partaken in. I thoroughly was intrigued by the service and the singing of the scripture and many questions began to well up within me during the service. I'm glad that we were invited to celebrate this awesome occasion. Shalom!!
