We knew we wanted to work with Rabbi Friedman long before our son was born--we first saw him…read moreperform a bris for our friends back in 2022 and knew immediately that whenever we had a boy, he'd be our first call. As soon as we found out we were expecting a boy, we booked him right away! He was absolutely incredible. A bris can be a stressful day for new parents, but his warmth, expertise, and perfect touch of comic relief put everyone at ease. He was also so on top of everything afterward--following up closely, guiding us through aftercare, and making himself constantly available for any questions we had. We received so much glowing feedback from our friends and family, and several of our guests have already said they plan to reach out to him when they have boys of their own. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

We were so fortunate to have Rabbi Friedman perform our son's bris. From our very first phone call,…read morewe immediately felt comfortable and confident that we were in great hands. He is incredibly professional, thorough, and reassuring throughout the entire process. The ceremony itself was beautiful and meaningful, and Rabbi Friedman has such a warm personality that made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. We also loved his sense of humor--and of course, the adorable "swag" was such a fun touch! As first-time parents, we especially appreciated how thorough he was with his instructions, text reminders, and availability to answer questions. His guidance before and after the bris made the entire experience feel much less overwhelming. Rabbi Friedman is truly a memorable mohel. So many of our family and friends kept telling us afterward how wonderful he was--but we already knew that! :)

"Disclaimer: This is a very long review about how AWESOME The Royal Mohel is to work with! :)…read more Dr. Rick Roberts surpassed my expectations twice now as he has performed at both my son's bris! His professionalism is bar none better than any mohel I've ever seen or heard perform. He is prompt, kind, funny, caring and full of fresh ideas. What I truly enjoyed is that he takes the time to sit with you, get to know you, hear your story , and build ideas based around what he takes from the conversations from you. Dr. Roberts was by our side each step of the way during the big day. One favorite part is that you don't even realize you're at a bris, he turns it into an enjoyable occasion. His thoughtfulness is incomparable as the first time around, being fresh parents we were too immersed in the day and completely forgot what he had told us. His phone is ALWAYS open to his clients and is more than willing to re explain what we should have been listening to the first time. From his calming voice, to his expertise, to his follow up calls days after, you will never find someone who LOVES what he does so much. Dr. Roberts came up with amazing ideas to help me speak in front of everyone and made each bris it's very own. Each time he performed for us was something completely different which shows how he isn't a "cookie cutter" type of a talker. He truly is a master of his craft and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. You are not just a number, your bris is special and treated like the once in a life time experience that it is. I highly recommend The Royal Mohel and urge everyone and everyone If you are in need of said services then you need not look any further. Best in the business, hands down!! Truly a pleasure to work with! A million thanks a thousand times over for making this run so smoothly!!! This review will probably fall short of how amazing he truly is! Thank you SO much!

Wow! I can not say enough good things about Rabbi Lawrence. Besides doing the the actual bris…read moreflawlessly he spent time with us before and after. My mother doctor and her various pediatrician friends were very impressed with rabbi Lawrence's skills!! Before the bris Rabbi Lawrence spoke with us on the phone a few times. He explained everything to us in detail and helped me calmed my nerves. He also helped us figure out how to include some family traditions. After the bris he explained everything to us in person with pictures and props and sent us written instructions. He checked in on us and our son every hour after that to make sure the healing process was going well. He has been available for every question and picture I have had. On top of all this rabbi Lawrence helped me stay calm on what is a very emotional day. If you are looking for a mohel who goes above and beyond rabbi Lawrence is your man!

Meal Mart continues to defraud us! I seriously question IF the food IS Kosher! The American Pound…read morehas 16 ounces. Yet I have tried to buy a pound of certain foods they sell. Simple example as of this week 9/25: I ordered One Pound of Diet Potato Salad. (I truly wanted only half a pound BUT I HAD to order a full pound.) What they do: They split "A Pound" into TWO separate thick containers each having only SEVEN Ounces! 7+7=14, 14 ounces. THAT IS NOT an American Pound! This is outright FRAUD! Who are the Rabbis who certify that Meal Mart, cheerfully defrauding their customers for YEARS now, IS TRULY KOSHER? I will No longer buy Meal Mart alleged Kosher foods! Please follow my example, Kosher friends! I want a serious response from the Ordained Rabbis (?) who certify that Meal Mart foods ARE KOSHER! I ONLY eat Kosher foods since birth! I'm an Orthodox Jew with a very full Yeshiva education. Take all the time you need. Lots of honest Kosher stores DO exist. I'm not concerned about "starving" in NYC or elsewhere.

Clients beware! Also, in addition to not giving me gear, they were very rude about payment issues. Fast to collect, even faster to freeze my membership and to lock me out of making bookings. Way to kick a man when he is down! They even charged me for storage for gear they would not let me access. They are extortionists at their best. Shame on you guys for taking advantage of someone with a 'disability'. Shame on you for kicking an artist when they are down. Gear often turned up missing in the gear closet. Elevator is cramped. Bathroom is neat, but accounting is dirty. I suggest looking up one of many other rental studios. 28 on 29 for example is quite good! I left them with an open offer, and they are free to reach out to me. All I want to do is pay them for the storage and get my gear back. Thank you!
