This temple feels like home. Everyone is wonderful and there is a spirit of giving back that is missing from other temples I have attended. Wonderful rabbi, fantastic staff, and just a genuinely caring community.
My family has had the privilege of being part of this wonderful community for over 30 years. Our clergy, Rabbi Melinda Panken and Cantor Wally are always accessible, caring and lead the most spiritual services. I'm so proud of our Temple.
I have been a member of this synagogue since 2002. The youth groups in particular are great opportunities for children and teens to get involved in the community, both in social and charity events. The high school youth group, referred to as YOSHE, participates in activities such as babysitting fundraisers, creation of creative services, the Escape Room, and the Midnight Run community service project in NYC. Overall, a great environment for Jewish families and their kids.
I love being a member of Temple Shaari Emeth! I am happy to be part of a community where I found new friends and family. Rabbi Panken and Cantor Wally always make themselves available and I never feel I can’t get help. All of the staff at Temple Shaari Emeth is nice and welcoming. I would recommend to everyone to become a member of our family!
Temple Shaari Emeth has been my home my entire life and I am so excited to share it with my family. Definitely the best Temple around.
