This year is the 3rd year I am attending services at B'nai Jacob. The first time I walked into this…read moresynagogue I was a fan. One of the most welcoming communities I have ever come across. The Rabbi is warm and vibrant and the members will make you feel as if you were a part of their family. The sanctuary looks like something out of Frank Lloyd Wright's portfolio and there is also plenty of off street parking. They have an "All Are Welcome" policy and will not shake you down for gelt! If you are looking for a synagogue that will welcome you and your family you must give this place a try.

To my understanding, a buffet is where YOU can serve yourself to your comfort and come back for more, if you so desire; the price of the $20 ticket didn't even include a drink and that's kind of ridiculous, in my opinion. Furthermore, the people here weren't very friendly about that, or that of my confusion, except for one person; Teresa. She was so kind and considerate. I told her I was confused by the misleading name of the event, a buffet, and she kindly explained to me that it was an event of the groups that she's a part of. Such a kind woman and I greatly appreciate her kindness and compassion. In all honesty, the only way I'll come back to an event of this group is if Miss Teresa will be here. Thank you so much for your kindness.

This review is for the church as well as the school. When my…read moreson enrolled in pre k, I naturally wondered how his day was... Now, entering 2nd grade, I know he's doing fine. I'm in love with security settings, the old fashioned door holders for parents and the comfy and cozy setting. Tuition is the lowest in the area, and combined with scholarships, discounts for income and fundraisers, the school not only stands strong fiscally, but also feels good for your wallet. The principal-a carbon copy of my quick as a whip personality, is warm, all business( it is s business after all) and she takes care of your needs as s family , and isn't afraid to tell parents off over their disrespectful children. My son was giving lip during one of his years and it was nipped in the bud. My family holds teachers in very high regards, therefore that one and only conference was all my family needed . I appreciate the no nonsense ways. Lunch is filling and provided at a low cost with option for discounts based on income. Although little to no enrichment is offered, thays okay. I'm the parent, and it's my job to find sports or other outlets for my son. After care is great for working parents, that runs from about 315-530. A summer camp would be wonderful for the school, as well as the economy overall- but that's fine! I'm sure the clergy members are busy enough during the year! Sr.joanne, the principal , does enough. Always available, always upfront, so to speak. Returns your calls and works with you with concerns. Close to two years ago, my son was nearly hit by a speeding car in the lot because he tugged at my hand to hug a friend. Frightened, I told the principal and she enforced ticketing rules and Paterson police patrolled the area. This is my only major concern. Snacks are not provided in pre k and k and I feel they should, as a preschool teacher. It may be wasteful and expensive, but a small one for 15 mins around 10 am or 930 would be great. Kids should be encouraged to pack this or each parent bringing in a box of graham crackers, ritz etc and the school throwing in a few bananas here and there. Anyhow, if you've read this far, I encourage you to give them a call!

At the entrance way, you are normally welcomed by ushers and or Joan who will wish you a good morning. Sunday Mass at 11:30 am is normally lead by Monsignor Mark Cordon a very well spoken, down to earth pastor. His interpretation of the Biblical stories and in comparison to today's life is informative. It's a wonderful parish.

A lot of masses on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night at 7 is usually pretty quiet and you can really sit there and contemplate your relationship with god. All in all an excellent worship experience. The Xmas gifts of hope is a great program and usually produces an outstanding response from the parishioners. When the priests thank us they always remark on our outstanding generosity. I have been to other parishes where they are constantly hitting you up money holy angels is not like that. You really do feel the presence of The Lord there.

the 3 day "Macedonian Food Festival" this Orthodox church hosts in September has hot food,…read moredelicious deserts, beer, hard liquor, and some games for kids. I was hoping there would be live music , dancers or dancing, or other entertainment but basically just food , drink, and lots of Macedonians. there are lots of Macedonians in north Jersey!! Just off I-80, very convenient access.. Some very pretty Macedonian young ladies in attendance . But if the church wants to make serious funds with this event, which has potential, some real entertainment (live music, dancers, dancing, maybe sale of Macedonian crafts, etc) needs to be added so that people stick around for awhile eating and drinking rather thaj just coming , eating, and leaving because there is not much to do other than talk .

It is 100% committed to what the Bible says a church should be and does its absolute best to achieve it... yet is modest enough to know they are just human. A healthy church has many different facets such as a super-strong children's program, small groups, special needs, youth/teen/young adults etc. The Chapel is remarkable on all fronts. A healthy church also does local and global outreach. Look on the website, especially at 12 Mile Bridge, The Chapel's outreach to Paterson.
