Rabbi Ben has done a…read moreterrific job making B'Nai Tikvah the kind of place where you look forward to coming after a long week to leave your phone in the car for a couple of hours and unwind. A more down-to-earth and inclusive temple you will not find. My kids love coming to B'Nai Tikvah's family-friendly services on Friday nights. The kids can be themselves: participating actively in the service or playing with other kids in the play room as they choose. Also, chocolate chip challah, treats, and juice/wine for kiddush. The congregation is small enough that we knew all the regulars on a first name basis within a few months. My kids mingled comfortably with the other kids and adults alike. Naomi does a great job with the Hebrew school on Tuesday evenings as well. We've gone to a few B'Nai Mitvahs here and they are well-prepared and confident reading from the Torah. My kids love being Jewish and my 8-year-old has an advanced appreciation for her age of the Jewish community's unique importance in promoting freedom, tolerance, justice, and the sanctity of life.

We are so grateful to have finally found Oceanside Sanctuary. It's small enough that everyone can get to know each other, but large enough to have a diverse congregation of people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds. It runs a weekly food pantry for those in need, and hosts a monthly resource event for the homeless. Oceanside Sanctuary is exactly the kind of church that we had been yearning for. It's located in the heart of downtown Oceanside, in a 100+ year old chapel with beautiful stained glass windows, wooden pews, and high ceilings with wood beams. Weekly Sunday morning services are held at 10:30 am. Please be sure to say hi if you come for a visit!

This is just disgusting and outrageous you go to complain about unruly people only to have staff treat you very poorly shame on this church and why don't you have more staff to monitor what's going on and have a talk with Dan and tell him you don't come at people aggressively and in a threatening way I don't care if you don't like what you're hearing if people weren't acting up I wouldn't have had to complain two thumbs down for this so called church!!!!

Working with community organizers to keep elected officials on track with their promises for affordable housing and other services to improve Encinitas and the lives of people here. They're not perfect. No group of humans is. But they love people, and are always growing and striving to be better. I highly recommend St Andrew's!

My neighbors have all kindly reached out asking them to mellow, but it is 7:42 pm and here we are still hearing the pickling. If the hours stopped at 5 or they used quieter paddles, I would cut them some slack. Our HOA has made excessively strict rules about the game, and as someone who loves to play, I'm not opposed. I just wished they would think about the fact they set up in a community with people who have tough jobs and would occasionally like to come home to some peace and quiet.

If Dan at all detects there are any issues, watch out as you will experience judgement, and all issues will be asked to be aired out with all members of the church publicly. Humility and and a Christian gentle approach to to heal from life's challenges are not Dan's strong point. This recommendation and review is based on personal experience. Many who attend the Fathers house are amazing people, with amazing families.
