On June 7th of this year my husband passed away. We had his memorial service in the Chapel in the Woods at Kol Ami for a substantial but reasonable price. I called them to find out about Yizkor Service attendance. (A one hour service) The executive Director told me it would cost $400 for my daughter and I to attend this service due to security reasons. While it may be reasonable to know who is going to attend in advance, I question whether two people will cost that much for security. I believe that Jewish law directs that no mourner should be turned away from Yizkor worship. In the end, my daughter and I went to Yizkor Services at Woodlands Temple with friends. No charge and a welcoming atmosphere.

They have a great selection of classes for adults and a really good nursery school and religious school. There are many social activities as well. One of my favorite things is the music at services. The Cantor has a fabulous voice and puts an interesting twist on the music. Nothing boring when he leads the service. The 2 Rabbi's are very cool and between the two of them they manage to relate to everyone from the kids to the older people. The Sanctuary was just renovated and it is beautiful. It is now a great place for a wedding.

There were many parents who pulled their students out of the school because of the lack of fun things in the lack of activities. It's pretty sad. I feel bad for those kids. There are several other better Jewish schools, such as JCC. Do not send your child to Beth El. They harass you when you pull your child out and the activities are unbelievably boring for the kids.

Granted you may have to take out a second mortgage on your home to get close high holiday seats...but well worth it. Make sure you visit the Wiener Lounge when you're there. Rabbi Sirner is like the Sandy Koufax of rabbis...no joke. Sure, he may confuse me for my brother when I see him, but since I only see him, maybe, once a year...I forgive him. In all seriousness, he is a real mensch...and a rabbi's rabbi. I have many warm memories of sitting with my family, as a child, listening to Cantor Avery and Rabbi Sirner lead the congregation.

Though, there were a few Scarsdale ladies who obviously thought they were the second coming of Sheba, there to to be lavished with praise and attention from us peons. Ugh.
