I'm still not much for cumbaya and group cuddles, but Rabbi Milder does the best services. He moves. He talks. He's informative and educational. I learn something every time I go to services. Aaaaand the guitar playing actually does make the whole experience much more enjoyable. There, I said it. The people at this temple, especially the leadership, work hard to include everybody in a warm and caring atmosphere. Somebody always says hi. There's always a smile. We belong. Our children belong. It's a great feeling that doesn't happen at all congregations. The educational program is top notch. The facilities are pleasant and clean. The children are above average. If you're looking for a temple, you owe it to yourself to check out CBE!

Lana is right about the setting at CBT. It is peaceful and understated with a beautiful big tree…read morethat you glimpse from the pews and that shades the sweet little outdoor amphitheater. Though more importantly to me, it is a welcoming community of friendly and down to earth people. Our family has made many good friends at CBT over the years. When we were "temple shopping" the friendly manner and helpfulness we encountered from the front office was an immediate plus. Adding to that, the Cantor has a beautiful voice, the Religious School Director is full of positive energy and the Rabbi always greets you with a smile (and usually by name). Though we have friends at several local synagogues, CBT feels like home to us.

I moved to Sacramento from the Bay Area and I did not find the people or rabbi at B'nai Israel to…read morebe welcoming. My experience has been that when I've gone to a new temple the rabbi is intentional in meeting with new potential members. That was not the case here. I visited that synagogue because my research showed that its' held values included "social action and communal care" and I connect with those values. The rabbi's sermons were excellent and the cantor has a truly beautiful voice but in my three Friday night Shabbat visits no one approached me to talk and the approaches that I made went nowhere. Disappointing.

I have never felt as if i "Were Home" before at another temple then I do here at B'nai Israel. My son just had his Bar Mitzvah on August 26th, 2017 and it was one of the best days of my life. If you and your family are looking for the best temple for your family look no further. We have the best of any staff around, not to mention our Rabbi and Cantor both are sent from Heaven up above and are not like any you have ever seen before. Really this is the best you will ever see or find.

I finally made it to the Jewish food festival. Great advertising this year and I was in town. The…read morefood was delicious and I found some great gifts for Chanukah. I got my Aunt a set of 6 dark blue, purple and outlined in gold Star of David napkins. Very unique and reasonably priced. All of the items were reasonably priced and so many unique gift items. Lots of amazing handmade jewelry. Knitted scarfs and hats, dog jackets, wind chimes, felted items, ceramics. There were also 2 Fair Trade booths. I bought the PaperLl Picado at the one my co-worker was manning. It was great to see him there. The live music was also really good. The Rabbi and her wife did a duet. Seating was scarce, but we were able to find a place every time we came with food. The food was delicious. We started out with the falafel. They had the funniest sign over it- Vegetarian. I wanted to ask where they sold the meat version and what it was like, but I resisted. After touring all of the food. I realized they were catering to those who weren't Jewish. The coconut macaroons were labeled gluten free. I loved the falafel. You paid when you got it and then took it to the condiment table that was chuck full of hummus, mustard, lettuce/cabbage, hot sauces, and Jerusalem salad. Jerusalem salad was included in all meals and you can have as much as you want along with the hummus ect. That was a huge perk. We then had the Corn beef sandwich. It was $10 and more than enough for 2. It was hot so I passed on the matzo ball soup. I heard it was great. The Macaroons were fresh, moist and delicious. They also had free tea and coffee in the back. They had lots of baked goods and frozen items. The baked goods came from a bakery, either Grand in Oakland or the Pita House. Very nice a unique selection. They had chocolate chip challah. I've a big fan of regular and never heard of the dessert variety. According to one person this event was a fundraiser to the community. The family who manned the ice cream booth was putting their earning to a family members college fund. Another booth said 10% of proceeds go to the Temple. What a nice unique fundraiser. Logistic: It was all street parking, which worked out fine. We immediately found a space. They had several parking attendants making sure people weren't parking in the shopping center's main parking. I think that's a great idea as you want a relationship with those businesses around you. With this many people I was surprised there wasn't a line a mile long to use the bathroom. There were 2 stalls and 2 in line when I went. The weather was perfect and a true blessing as most things were out doors. I can't wait to go back next year.
