We attended a Bat Mitzvah at Makom NY at Bethpage Worship Center on Thursday October 12, 2017. The…read moresinging was phenomenal and uplifting. It was a visiting cantor from California and she absolutely made the ceremony! It was downhill other than that. I have never been to a religious house of worship where the officiate does not mention the need for thoughts and prayers to go out to community members in need. This particular rabbi did not mention once the devastated people of Texas or Puerto Rico (hurricanes) nor the California raging wildfires. Nor did she mention Jews in oppressive circumstances in Syria (war) and elsewhere in the Middle East. What else is a community for if not to support those in need? A basic tenet of Judaism as noted "Pirke Avot 2:5 Hillel said, do not separate yourself from the community, "was clearly missing from this service. Makom NY's website states the following are included in their mission: Meaningful worship, impactful relationships. Joyous holiday celebrations, learning for all ages and stages, sacred moments and life cycle, social action and outreach and connection to Israel. As for meaningful worship; The Lulav and Etrog were shown and offered but not explained. This was a Bat Mitzvah, it would behoove the officiate to remember that not everyone attending this service is a fully informed Jew. Inclusiveness is necessary to all of the congregants. As for impactful relationships; It was abundantly clear that the Bat Mitzvah girl's mother and family were completely left out of this event. Not one Aliyah for mom, grandmother, grandfather, aunt or any other member of the girl's family. What kind of religion does not honor thy mother? The Rabbi could not have failed to notice this conspicuous absence and yet chose to do nothing. As for social action and outreach; Again, no mention of any kind of those in need. It's a Shanda! After reading about Makom NY (https://www.makomny.org/) we were so interested in seeing what this "new" model of Judaism was about in person, however, after the ceremony, we were completely disappointed. The choices of the rabbi were disgraceful; as a woman, a mother and a Jew, she fell short of her moral responsibilities.

My three kids love going to Hebrew school! They are lucky to have wonderful Hebrew school teachers and benefit from small class sizes that allow them to really learn about Jewish life, our culture, about Israel and most importantly learn to read Hebrew through one on one personalized Hebrew lessons. My family joined Manetto Hill Jewish Center 8 years ago because we were looking for an affordable temple that offered young family programming. We could not have imagined that it would become a second home, the memories we would make and how many life long friends we would meet that are like family.

No Hebrew School or building fund means very modest dues making this perhaps the most affordable congregation one can find. Yet it is rich in spirit. Members come from many areas of Long Island and Queens to this modest Shul located just a short distance south of the Garden City Hotel. Progressive yet very spiritual and deeply religious Rabbi.

Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Tara and Cantor Adam are vibrant people who make the service come alive. The services are beautiful, powerful, and meaningful. The prayers are set to uplifting melodies and are enjoyable to attend. There are two sanctuaries. There is a smaller one that is older that is breathtaking. The larger one seats over 400 people and was designed by a famous architect. The congregants range from young families to seniors and are all welcoming. There are many opportunities to get involved and take interesting classes. I took the beginner Hebrew class for adults and found it helpful. I am also impressed by the overall operation and management of TBE by Executive Director, Stu Botwinick. Stu, Dafna, and Joy (who run the TBE office) are responsive, helpful, organized and warm. TBE's medical advisory committee is excellent and TBE adheres to strict COVID safety policies and measures. Lastly, TBE's caterer is W Kosher Catering. Craig is a pleasure to work with. Food is delicious and was beautifully presented. Wonderful place for a simcha. Love the roof deck!

You are reminded that cameras are not allowed and phones must be turned off. The service started promptly at 10:00am. Pews are close and low but comfortable. The Synagogue is decorated with religious symbols on the walls. It has high ceilings and on the backs of the pews are name plates for parishioners who've donated to the Synagogue. These plates are also displayed at the entrance and in the encased glass in the lobby. Gorgeous wooden ark holds the Torahs on the alter wall. The Bar Mitzvah service is interactive ( call & response) and engaging, simply one of the most beautiful church services I've ever partaken in. I thoroughly was intrigued by the service and the singing of the scripture and many questions began to well up within me during the service. I'm glad that we were invited to celebrate this awesome occasion. Shalom!!
