I am a not-so-knowledgeable Jew, and his answers are clear, insightful, and often inspirational. The shul is blessed to have a young Rav as well, Rav Fried, - very learned, yet easy-going. And women and men who teach and support Jews at all levels. In sentiment i am a Reform Jew, but i am very comfortable in this Modern Orthodox environment.

Emanuel Synagogue is a really welcoming, friendly and comfortable place for the first-time or…read moreseasoned synagogue-goer. The rabbi, who is now on leave I do believe, was incredibly welcoming to the boyfriend and I on our first several visits. New faces are always exciting for frequent goers, but the treatment we got was what I hope for when heading to new synagogues. I'm not big on guitars or organs, so those are the few things that I'm not big on at this shul. The High Holidays services were wonderful, excepting for some curious musical choices at times. I try to avoid the guitar-style services because it's a little too new-age for me, and it works out well. If you're looking for a nice, cozy place with beautiful artwork and a welcoming, friendly community, then Emanuel is probably right up your alley.

When I went to college I continued the trend and went every Friday night to services at our Hillel. After college I tried a couple of places but never found somewhere I felt comfortable. Recently after years of not going, I decided to try Emanuel, and I loved it. The Rabbi is extremely nice and the building is beautiful. This is a place I definitely felt comfortable. The Rabbi one of the first times me and my girlfriend went in there asked us if we had somewhere to go to for the High Holidays, which I did not. He said that if we wanted to, to call the office on Monday and tell them to give us two passes for services and we are more than welcome as his guest, which we took him up on. Unfortunately I was unable to make Rosh Hashana service, but when we went for Yom Kippur it was very nice. The cantor did a great job and the envirnment was great and what I was used to.

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of churches in general, because shouldn't we share such a great church? This is a small, friendly church. Warm, but not pushy. We both really felt welcome. The music was contemporary but not too loud, and it was easy to sing along with the words on the screen - plus, we liked that we could understand every word that was being sung. The service was also really easy to be a part of, the message was relevant and fun and their Pastor Suzanne (apparently Interim Pastor) does not feel like an Interim, she feels like a caring, loving, knowledgeable part of their community. If we lived here, we'd want to be a part of this church! If you're in the neighborhood - scope it out. (Lots of good family activities coming up too...) Bill and Nancy

We have raised our family in church, and for the first time ever my younger children have said they understand the application to each sermon preached here at Proclamation. The people are warm, friendly, and authentic. The atmosphere is worshipful, the music God-honoring and done well. There are always some sort of events going on for different age groups- ladies breakfasts, young mom groups, youth events, and men's events. This is a family-friendly church environment. During the morning sermon, there is nursery and children's church provided but you are welcome to keep your children with you as well, and several do so including myself. Outside, they recently built a new playground and put up a tent nearby where parents can fellowship. There are multiple pastors and elders, which follows the biblical pattern. This is a growing church. My family highly recommends it!
