I had a very bad experience here, where a Rabbi deliberately tried to humiliate me in public. I had asked a fact related question after a talk by an outside speaker. I'm guessing he didn't know any relevant material, so he, in an unpleasant tone, asked this rabbi if he wanted to answer. The rabbi said: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. AT LEAST that many times. His tone and attitude of contempt was very clear. It caused a stir, people stared at me, and someone I knew somewhat refused my offered hug (it WAS a Jewish holy day) saying: stay away from me! I'm so embarrassed by you! Well, the Jews are the questioning people, the ones who argue/fight with G-d, two Jews, 3 opinions. Apparently, at this synagogue, not so. Instead, your intelligence will be insulted by hearing a talk about the POPE on Shavuot, that also had no substance. And it you try to bring it to something real, you will be treated with contempt in public. Some lessons: If someone is talking about the pope on a Jewish holiday, in a Jewish sanctuary, get up and leave. Also, don't go to this place. Only the wicked try to humiliate people in public. Or the incompetent. Or both. All either of them had to do was say: we're out of time, can we talk about this after? So, in addition, I think it's fair to conclude that neither the rabbi nor the speaker have even basic 'speaker skills.' Finally, when I mentioned this to a friend at a different synagogue, he said: that rabbi has a reputation for being obnoxious. Golly, wish I had known.

Looking for a welcoming Jewish synagogue with thoughtful and warm clergy? Temple Emanuel is the place. My husband and I joined a few years ago and feel very much at home at the synagogue.

Incredibly welcoming to all- whether you are single, married, interfaith, with children or without. While conservative, there are multiple opportunities to learn and expand religious knowledge and spirituality for every 'level' of observance.

I have never experienced a more welcoming and vibrant community! I feel blessed every day to have Temple Emanuel in my life. It is filled with the most compassionate, intelligent and open minded people. I have friends here that are family actually it truly feels like one big incredible family offering so much....this Temple is a gift!

Once upon a time this was a wonderful place. Regrettably, it has devolved into an awful place run by many hypocritical liars who think nothing of violating core Jewish values while engaging in the "Pretend Pious Prance" of religiosity. These so called Jews are the type who give Jews a bad name, thereby fostering anti Semitism. Many of them need lessons in basic human decency, let alone in Jewish values. Some of the folks running the show are morally bankrupt and LIE to members. They will smile in your face before stabbing you in your back. Best advice? KEEP AWAY at ALL costs! Find a synagogue which leads by example.
