Went tonight for services which included variety of Broadway tunes that the choir preformed. The service was excellent and still only lasted a hour! Went tonight for Purim Spiel. Fun performance put on by members of synagogue to tell the story of Hamam. read more

Temple Beth Shalom - Cast listings - Synagogues Near Me - New Albany, Ohio

I became a member of Temple Beth Shalom (TBS) during the time of marriage because the rabbi we used, Rabbi Benjy is affiliated with this synagogue. Ever since I joined the temple has definitely been very warm and welcoming. Rabbi Apothaker married my brother. For my brother it was very convenient to take lessons with Apothaker because they skyped before the actual ceremony here in Columbus. The ceremony was beautiful. Onto my ceremony, I loved it! Rabbi Benjy did a phenomenal job with both my husband and I. He even got the audience very engaged. They all loved him I heard! My husband and I started off with lessons like my brother but we actually met our rabbi in person, which I prefer because I like seeing people in person. I like to be engaged with the person who is marrying my husband and I and he did just that. The temple as a whole is just wonderful. They bring the Meshuga Notes (like a Jewish music group) to services on Friday's so that it is upbeat. They also have Marc Russo to engage with the kids with music lessons. As well as Angelo on the guitar. It's just a very nice atmosphere. I recently went to a ceremony this past weekend where they honored both the Israeli and American veteran's and I was very thankful they put it together. They obviously spent a lot of time and effort putting it together and making sure the choir had their music prepared. I appreciated everything they did to honor both my dad and brother as veteran's of the IDF (Israeli Defense Force). I am honored to be a member of this temple and would recommend it to any reform Jew's in the community. read more

Temple Beth Shalom is the most welcoming synagogue that I have ever attended. As my wife will attest, the temple's doors are open to practitioners of all faiths. Rabbis Apothaker, Lefton, and Bar-Lev are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned with the welfare of their congregation. While I was in the hospital and recovering from surgery, they called me to check on me, sent me get well cards, and kept me in their prayers. One of the congregants, knowing that I was unemployed and that my wife and I had three foster children, has even sent me grocery gift cards to help me out. I can't express how much all of this has meant to me and my family. If you are looking for a synagogue that is warm, welcoming, and open-minded, Temple Beth Shalom is the place for you. read more
