"Serving people who serve the world." This small, locally-founded church in East Harlem is focused…read moreon serving people who serve the world, from non-profit youth and criminal justice directors to for-profit financial real estate investors. There is a way to serve the world through every vocation or role we have. Metro is open to people of all faith or religious backgrounds and at the same time centered on knowing Jesus Christ. Some of the ways Metro engages with the local community is through partnering with local small businesses through Cash Mobs and East Harlem Buy Local initiatives. My family found this church after moving from California four years ago and have really found ourselves planting our roots in the community through this church. I started volunteering here after a couple of years and now am an associate pastor here. Happy to review this church as my 500th Yelp Review!

Rather than feeling ephemeral ("lasting for a very short time"), in reality this congregation has…read moresolid roots in the community. It was founded in 1864 and has been in its present building since 1925-26. The temple has a new program, called terumah, in place that replaces traditional dues. In the Torah, terumah indicated a "free-will" offering, not a required one. It is based on how much your heart is moved to strengthen, celebrate and grow Jewish life there. You can follow TBE on their website (http://www.betheljc.org/) as well as on the social media sites Facebook and Twitter. As I write this review, the High Holy Days are fast approaching. Everyone can obtain complimentary tickets at http://www.betheljc.org/worship/services. Attend services and be inspired!

There were a few in Manhattan. We went to them all. This was the right fit for us. The most important part of a synagogue is the Rabbi. Someone who cares about what is going on with you and the community. Someone is caring, and genuinely loves what he does. That is Rabbi Sebert to a T. That was the clincher. My daughter and wife go to Challah Tots on Fridays (which is cute). We will be participating more. If you are looking for a good conservative synagogue with a rabbi who cares. This is the place.
