It did not seem very community oriented from what we had observed or experienced in the past. The congregation was very solemn for the New Year. I was unhappy with the selection of staff as they were not friendly towards myself or my family. It certainly did not seem kid friendly whatsoever. Maybe it is luck of the draw? Although, I am skeptical whether or not to send my eldest son (age 8) to Peninsula Temple Beth El in the future to study for his Bar Mitzvah or my youngest son (age 4) for that matter. I believe we will look into Temple Shalom or Temple Sinai? We have heard good things about those synagogues from local friends.
