A guitar playing rabbi, A Tefilah Band, and singing and dancing congregants are not something I am used to, not that there's anything wrong with that. The hour and a half service was a pleasure to sit through and seemed much shorter than it was. If we lived a bit closer, we would be regular attendees.

I love that in the Greater Boston area there are so many synagogues and Jewish communities to choose from, but Temple Hillel B'nai Torah is the one that gets my thumbs up. The events and services I've been to have had a great mix of people and energy. When I walked in people said hi right away, not in a pushy or fake way, just nice and natural. It felt open and comfortable and like I could actually belong here. If you're anywhere in the Boston area and looking for a Jewish community that's down-to-earth and welcoming, give it a try.

"Not recommended, especially for those in our generation, --the Millennials"…read more My experience at this church ( Connect Community Church) was bewildering. My cousin and I attended the "new member class". During this meeting, we were told by the Pastor --that many of the young adults connect, with him and others, through Social Media (he encouraged us all, to do the same). The following day, we were surprised to find out (by a fellow, new member) that the Pastor decided to exclude us. The reason being that we were quiet and I guess people see us differently? We are slow to warm up, --as we are naturally, very demure and sort of soft-spoken. The situation was off putting but we took it in stride. We loved our new church home, so we just "shrugged" it off, I guess. To our horror and utter embarrassment, -- the Pastor, put in his sermon the following Sunday, that he didn't have to "include or add certain types to the church's/his social Media" and that it's a "privilege for those who choose to open up." Oh, my! We cried that day and never returned. I cannot recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're a Millennial. It just doesn't translate well to our generation. Thank you for reading this and God bless on this Sunday afternoon. - Daisy
