Temple Am Echad

Temple Am Echad

I accompanied my Grandma to Am Echad for Yom Kippur this year. Grandma LOVES Am Echad. She's always…read moreraving (to anybody that will listen) about how nice all the people are, how beautiful the services are, and how much fun she has going to temple. I can see why she feels that way. From what I could tell, Temple Am Echad is like heaven for a Jewish senior citizen -- without the whole "being dead" thing. I found myself surrounded by such apty-named octogenarians as "Seymour," "Ethel," and "Harold." And unfortunately, each elder lady tried to out-perfume the others, filling my nostrils with the most powerful old-lady smell one could imagine. It's not easy to breathe out of your mouth for two hours straight. Truth be told, Grandma was right about the people. They really were all very nice, having nice things to say about Grandma and how she had been talking up my Yom Kippur visit for weeks. Good ole Grandma. As for the temple itself, it was a nice enough building, if not particularly beautiful. The Rabbi cracked a couple of jokes, one or two of which actually wasn't horrible. The Cantor was good, though I was expecting a bit more theatrics after Grandma's assessment that he could easily hold a lead role on Broadway. Not sure about that one... And the service was pretty standard, as far as Reform High Holiday observances go. That is, until we reached the Torah service and things completely fell apart. The Torah readers could not find the proper starting place, leaving the congregation waiting some 5 minutes as they searched the scroll. Then some of the readers were painfully slow and obviously unprepared. One old lady reader said she was too short to see the words well, though I happened to agree with the guy behind me who loudly whispered, "I don't think she studied very hard." Ha. Temple Am Echad seems to be making efforts to modernize and appeal to a younger generation, though it's definitely still ruled by the old guard. The temple President made her remarks and asked for donations to help keep alive the special services that Am Echad offers during the year, including a special Jazz Shabbat and their patented Peter, Paul, & Mary service. As I looked around, I got the feeling most of the people in attendance, although Jewish, would have a better chance of knowing Peter, Paul, and Mary from the New Testament than the folk band from the '60s. I don't mean to make Am Echad sound too terrible, though. My overall experience was not bad, though I would imagine there are better options for younger people in other places. But if this review comes across as too harsh, let me now say that I am sorry. And I suppose I can always return next year to repent on Yom Kippur.

My first time here…read more I'm seated awaiting the start of service. A man (I later learnt was Pastor Steve) is walking around greeting folks as they come in so of course I stretch my hand out to him. We shook, I said "Greetings brother, welcome welcome" as if I'm either A. Nigerian or B. A Pastor/usher/member here. Speaking of nationalities, so many flags on the walls of this Church. I like that, all are welcome. Except my own. Where's my country's flag? Ima need my Trinis to represent. I KNOW you have flags at home doing nothing (why do you need a reminder on your wall, you forgot?) Bring one over next time you're passing through okay. The address is on this Church's page, one click back. Okay my behaviour is beyond rude, I have to go fellowship or pray or something. Let them know mama didn't raise no disrespectful fool. I'll finish this review after Church hopefully over a bowl of Callallo. Peace out (for now) Later that day. Well I tell you, Church was nice! I felt like I belonged! We experienced a mission trip to the Dom Rep via video and testimonies from those who attended. A guy who seemed to be a Junior Minister gave a short firery word and then it was time for Pastor Steve! Listen, I know this is a Church page and all but the other reviewers told a lie! Everything they said about Pastor Steve is actually 1000000 times more! Pastor Steve on his own is extremely charismatic and energetic! His sermon was riveting and I couldn't get enough! It wasn't boring, I didn't look at the time or found an interesting new app to download while pretending to read my Bible app. Oh no! My attention was fixated on that stage!!! Today's topic was about getting out of our comfort zones and my gorsh Vinny at the end with a dramatic piece where he broke through a straightjacket made me feel as if I should be paying for all this. Not just offering but PAYING! Hallelujah! Before I forget, I throughly enjoyed the praise and worship team as well! My experience here was nothing but fantastic! Home away from home and I'll be back. Oh and first timers get a lil gift bag of goodies too. One more "oh"...... I so wasn't dressed as though I was going to visit the Queen (in my jeans and hoodie) but folks treated me as if I was. "Render your heart and not your garment..." and all that new testament vibe! The End.

Non denominational and very casual but does not believe in equality. Pastor made sure to advise…read moreparents to not let their children watch certain shows on the kids channel because it promotes same sex relationship and "ungodly" things. I was coming here for a few years they also have a small support group some evenings which was very helpful (celebrate recovery). I also loved the live stream so I could have just watched from home. But after that sermon about 2 years ago I didn't feel this church is for me.
