I've just been a few times at the high holidays and for group seders, but have always felt at home. Great food, interesting discussions, friendly people. Some programs more geared to families/kids, but there really is something for almost everyone... What a wonderful resource for a homesick NY'er who has traveled faaaaaar from the "tribe!!"

My synagogue growing up was a very nice, standard, concrete building across the street from a public middle school on Long Island. I can't even compare my old synagogue to Plum Street! I've never been in a Catholic cathedral in my life, but this is what I always envisioned them as! Golden, historic, EXTREMELY high ceilings, a balcony for the choir/orchestra, long pews, the smell of candles and hard-wood... the ambiance and warmth of this place just surrounds you! I've been to a few Shabbat services as well as Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashannah. Unfortunately my budget can't fit in the annual dues beyond my free 1st year (for being under 35) so until I can afford to be an official congregant again, I'll have to visit on a tour. I highly recommend that anyone - gentile or Jew, tourist or local - visit this temple! It is a part of history, not just for Reform Judaism in the US but for Cincinnati and architecture as well!

I love to cook and the folks here who put on the cooking classes do a tremendous job teaching the kids about cooking and the cultures whose foods we are preparing. The kids get real hand-on experience preparing foods. The two sessions they have been in (while I was in town) were France and Mexico. Recipe cards are available for the children to take so they can cook their new foods at home with their families. What fun!
