I am proud to be joining this amazing community as a son in law. Everyone here at the shul was so nice and welcoming! I'm looking very forward to coming here as often as I can!

There are two types of "friends". The first kind smile and chat and they are good people. The second kind not only smile, but they're there when you need them, they don't make up an excuse when trouble arrives. I wasn't born Jewish. I converted some time ago, but if anything, that fact seems to bring more love and support from the community than if I had been born Jewish. No one has ever mentioned that I converted, but I enjoy talking about it when I can. I have gotten far more from the community and the shul and the rabbis than I could ever hope to return. I've never been asked for money, not once. After decades, I finally decided to join. Now I don't know what my delay was. I guess since I was being treated so nicely, more than family, I took advantage and just kept coming and never bothering to pull out my wallet. Now, in retrospect, I wish I had paid membership many years ago. My wife is from the Philippines and we feel more at home at the shul than you can imagine. We had a tragedy seven months ago (before I joined), my son took his own life, and my first call was to the police. My second call was to Rabbi Feigenbaum (his number being in my contact list from heavy use already). He and Rabbi Sarna must have flown through walls because in the next moment, they were here, thank G-d. Rabbi Sarna drove me to my kids schools to pick them up (no way I could drive safely in that mental state). He also personally removed the mattress that my son died on so I wouldn't have to do it. If I or my wife had had to do it, we would have had to sell our house in a distress sale and would have had nightmares for the rest of our lives. That was perhaps the nicest thing anyone has ever done for us, extremely unpleasant, physically difficult, without us even having to ask. I wonder if he has nightmares from it. If so, I'm sorry, but thank you for taking on that burden for us. R. Feigenbaum sat by my side while I was being questioned by the detective. Looking back, I'm convinced it kept me out of jail and solved who knows how much additional grief and expense and family trauma. Just yesterday, seven months later, Rabbi Feigenbaum came over to me suggesting I visit with him even more, to make sure I'm doing ok. All in all, all I had to do is sign a few papers, attend the funeral, and I can tell you it gives my wife and I extreme comfort to have had a nice big Jewish funeral, absolute support from all corners of the community. Those memories give us comfort, peace, dignity, and a chance to move forward. My wife goes to the cemetery every 9 or ten days. I think one of the biggest regrets in my life will continue to be that I didn't get my kids more involved in the shul. "Friends"? "Family."

Ohr Hatorah is welcoming & full of life! The women are so helpful & welcome new faces with friendship. It's nice to see color in clothes. Modesty, But an individual sense of color & proper style. The Men very welcoming to my Husband. As a couple , we felt right away , This Community was what we were looking for. Thank you.

“Gee User” had many incorrect facts in his/her review of Ohr HaTorah, which has a great, Texas-Friendly attitude toward everyone. One thing that “GU” did get right is that Ohr HaTorah welcomes Jews of all levels of observance and does have a fantastic, interactive Learners’ Service on Shabbos morning for those who weren’t raised Torah-observant, led by one of Dallas’s most beloved rabbis. There are lively discussions and no question is out of line! Children of all ages are especially welcome at Ohr, and the place is always bustling with them. The only “paid seats” are on the High Holidays, and every synagogue in Dallas– including Reform and Conservative-- has paid seats at that time. There are even free seats available for the High Holidays, or reduced-price seats, for those who can’t afford it. “The women wear black and gray.” This is also incorrect. I don’t know when this person went to Ohr, but that is certainly not the case! Some women wear black and gray, as they do everywhere. They are more flattering colors! You’ll see women at Ohr wearing an entire spectrum of colors, except garish ones, which wouldn’t be appropriate in any house of worship. There is no dress code, other than women dress modestly, as we should dress everywhere, especially a house of worship. That is the “minhag” (custom) at Ohr. “The men wear...box hats.” I don’t know what a “box hat” is. Some males over bar mitzvah age wear hats, rather than just yarmulkes, which is an Ashkenaz custom. But it is not a requirement. Any head covering, including a baseball cap, is acceptable! I've been a member of synagogues all over Dallas, and Ohr HaTorah is the Real Deal, a warm and caring, supportive, down-to-earth congregation and a true community of Jews all dedicated to helping each other connect to G-d. The congregants are successful professional men and women who really care. Check it out!
