    I would rate it 4.5. People are very nice, friendly,…read morehelpful. Good Supervision. Center is clean and comfortable. Lots of separate rooms and a big 'ballroom' Lots of different activities for Seniors, some table games, but there are various physical activity classes also. Movie once a month is nice. Knitting, chess, bridge, mah-jong, Zumba, dancing, bingo, TV bowling, ping-pong, pool tables, Computer center. (I was a volunteer in installing Windows software, as well as teaching some classes and organizing the classes). Note: Some classes require a fee. And special holiday/occasions/acts are constantly on the schedule. Various Travel tours crop up. Food in cafeteria has improved quite a bit since the new chef arrived on the scene some months ago, and for $4 a meal, it's pretty good. You do need to sign up. Only comment is that I wish it was start at 11:30 as all the literature states, not 11:40+. One other comment is that I wish the 'next month' Gazette would show up around the last 2 days of the month, instead of having to wait until the actual month itself starts. Location is excellent with the TO Library on one side, and Teen Center on the other. And behind Goebel and Library are parks that also have special scheduled activities or for picnic. I highly recommend that if you are live around this area, come in and pick up a brochure on what activities there are.

    Goebel is the best senior center, there is something for everyone. The manager is excellent and…read moretalented. The building and surroundings is clean and organized.

    I returned to this mosque again this year for the Muharram majalis, and once again I left with a…read moredeep sense of gratitude and respect for the community. Just as I experienced last year, I was warmly welcomed by everyone, especially the ladies who dedicate their time to organizing and managing the gatherings. Their kindness, patience, and hospitality created an atmosphere in which visitors genuinely feel included and valued. One of the reasons I wanted to update my review is that I noticed the feedback I shared last year appears to have been taken seriously. I had expressed my hope that prayers and awareness would also be extended to Muslims suffering around the world, particularly those facing war, oppression, and humanitarian crises. This year, I was genuinely pleased to see the resident Maulana encourage the congregation to remember oppressed communities in their duas. There was also information displayed about charitable initiatives supporting those in need, reinforcing the importance of compassion beyond our own community. Whether my feedback contributed or not, I truly appreciated seeing this emphasis. Despite the large crowds on the nights of the 9th and 10th of Muharram, the organization was exceptional. The event was well managed, volunteers remained calm and respectful, and there was a clear sense of decorum throughout the mosque. The atmosphere reflected dignity, patience, and mutual respect, even with the large number of attendees. I also appreciated the diversity within the congregation. People from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds came together in the spirit of Imam Hussain (AS), creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that truly reflected the universal message of Karbala. The resident Maulana's lectures were another highlight. Each evening's topic was thoughtfully chosen and developed with clarity before being beautifully connected to the lessons of Karbala. His delivery was sincere, respectful, and intellectually engaging without ever feeling theatrical or sensationalized. He spoke with humility, kindness, and compassion, making the message accessible and meaningful. The transition into the masaib was natural and heartfelt, and his recitation of the nohas added to the spiritual atmosphere without becoming overly dramatic. The entire majlis was conducted with reverence and dignity, allowing attendees to reflect on the significance of these sacred nights. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and community members for creating such a welcoming environment. This mosque continues to demonstrate that meaningful leadership is reflected not only through knowledgeable lectures but also through humility, inclusivity, thoughtful organization, and genuine care for the community. I look forward to returning, Insha'Allah.
