It is a reform temple, and thus services are conducted in that tradition. There is music at every service, organized by our Cantor Perper, who is inspiring and funny at the same time. My family has been lucky enough to have both our sons be prepared for their Bar Mitzvahs here and they have experienced nothing but support and encouragement. There are many cultural and social opportunities as well through this temple. People can participate as little or as much as you like but whenever I attend something, I always feel welcome. Our congregation is filled with people from different parts of NY and NJ but it is truly a "house of friends"-Beth Haverim. Come by anytime and give us a try.

Growing up my family observed holidays and traditions in our home, but we no longer belonged to a…read moretemple. I never went to Hebrew school; when I was 9 I tried to teach it to myself with a workbook. I always felt I was missing something but felt like a fish out of water whenever I attended any other temple. Then my husband and I moved to Mahwah. We initially attended Beth Haverim because it was convenient. I was insistent that our children grow up part of a congregation maybe because I simply didn't. But when we started going, the rabbi and cantor and all the other congregants never made me feel awkward or not as good because of my lack of knowledge. Instead they welcomed me and offered me ways to feel comfortable at services. Services are run in such a way that everyone in the sanctuary knows what is going on--the use of English passages, wonderful music, and story-telling make it all so accessible. My older son had his Bar Mitzvah a few years ago, and the process was intense but so rewarding. My son really grew during the process--spiritually, intellectually as well as his maturity. Cantor Perper and the rest of the staff were absolutely supportive of our family and worked to get the best out of our son. We are now in the process for our younger son as well. Beth Haverim offers so many opportunities to our congregants--no matter your age--through social programs, educational programs, cultural programs and of course through services. If you get a chance, come to one of our services, I think you will enjoy welcoming, warm atmosphere.

Everyone we interacted with was very professional, helpful, and happy to go above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. The temple was very flexible in terms of working with us to set up prior to the wedding. We had a multi-racial wedding and my husband's family and our non-Indian friends were never made to feel uncomfortable at the temple. Rescheduling a wedding can be a mess as you can imagine but Shailja made the process very smooth for us and was one of our easiest vendors to work with. The temple made for an affordable and beautiful location for a wedding; we had a beautiful baraat before the wedding and there are grassy areas around the temple for pictures.
