Bingo is held every…read moreSunday night from 6:30-9:30 with doors opening at 5:00, here's what you should know going in and things I wish I knew in advance. The CHEAPEST bare bone playing session costs $11 - $10 for the book of 20 games (6 cards per game) and one for the lucky #/admission ticket which EVERYONE must have going in. Anyone entering MUST pay for these two items to be admitted. Come early - we came at 6pm and had trouble finding a seat. I got the feeling it's regulars playing every week and while we found 2 helpful gals at our table that welcomed us over that doesn't appear to be the norm. Do not bring outside food. This is a Jewish run function and for religious purposes they want to "control" the food inside the building - kosher maybe? They do sell food/drinks there. I did however bring and drink my water from home without issue. There is an armed guard there the whole time and with good reason; there is tons of money floating around here. The "lot" is a hot mess! Literally - a few cars here, there, behind, in the grass, etc. Park where you can and be careful walking especially in the dark. I sprained my ankle by falling in one of the many potholes while walking to my car in the dark. Considering how much money flows through their doors you'd think they would make this a priority especially since it's a liability with mainly elderly clientele. If you are under 60 you will probably be one of the youngest players there. But those older ladies will most likely play you under the table. They're pros! Bring your own dabber and a pen for marking off specials (like the "letter" games"). The game cards are paper. Don't leave anything behind if using the rest room, as my fancy pen got stolen while I was in there. Pay attention! This is fast paced and aside from the regular bingo (which includes 4 bonus double games bingos) there is alot going on. In between calling numbers they also call out specials, make announcements for additional games, and constantly sell different pull off tickets. If you're lucky you'll end up sitting near some helpful ladies like we did - without them we would have been lost! Be prepared to win big cash! Shocked is an understatement when I saw the money that was up for grabs. $1000, $875, $250 - lots of high stakes winnings. And lots of folks forking over tons of money. Retirement must pay well because I couldn't keep up with these ballers on my budget. While budget and time won't make me a regular I will be back and hopefully win big!

I can't remember how many times I've been shocked at other shuls when children are hidden away, or not allowed in the main sanctuary. While Chisuk Emuna does have a great junior congregation, kids are also allowed (and even expected!) to join in the main service. I've seen the Rabbi pick kids up (his own and others!) during services, and even continue a sermon while holding a toddler. While no shul is without faults (my gripe: Chisuk Emuna is not egalitarian), this has always been a wonderful place and wonderful community.

The members were warm and inviting (and not pushy!) when my family attended services the first few times, and Rabbi Brown is enthusiastic, patient, knowledgeable and welcoming. The kids love her. It is a conservative synagogue, but fairly laid-back to accommodate members at both ends of the spectrum - those who are pretty devout ... and those of us who like the holidays and community events, and don't remember much Hebrew from our youth. Some interesting adult ed classes, and a great Hebrew school for kids.
