First off , it seemed more like a concert type of scenery and when people were preaching , it was noisy . People have no respect when someone's preaching , all I kept hearing was whispers and people talking and being rude . When you go to church , is to hear the preaching , not to socialize and be rude and talk while someone is preaching . It was so difficult to enjoy the preaching , My husband and I left the church because it was just disturbing . Overall , i did not have a pleasant time .

There were adorable kids dancing and singing along, a bar mitzvah family AND and a pre wedding Auf ruf couple present on the bima in anticipation of the big days!

Afterwards, we all took a moment to reconnect with old friends and even meet some new ones! It was terrific through & through. We will definitely be back from snow Connecticut soon!

My husband grew up at Temple Judea. Shortly after we rejoined more than 30 years ago, we attended a…read moreTemple family picnic. I didn't know anyone there, but as soon as we walked in, a kinder, slightly older woman came up to me smiling, and introduced herself. She invited me to meet the others in her group, and I immediately felt at home. Over the past three decades, Temple Judea has been our spiritual, social and academic home. We have celebrated more simchas there than I can count, including the b'nai mitzvah of our two kids. Both attended Temple Judea preschool and beginning next Monday, my daughter will be teaching there, now the Margaux Early Childhood Center. My husband became an active board member, eventually becoming president of the congregation. Both of us have been involved in temple life, feeling that you get what you give out of something. If you're looking for a large, less personal synagogue, look elsewhere. But if you're interested in becoming part of something in a warm, welcoming environment, check out Temple Judea.

Don't…read moreremember ever staying at a Greek festival until almost midnight but our group was there for probably 5-6 hours and time did not drag on at all. So many fun things to do and lots of dancing! We checked out the cooking and mixology demos, had tons of tasty food, watched the amazing dance performances and did some dancing ourselves. The church seems to have a great community that is well-connected but also welcoming. I'm Greek and sometimes food at Greek fest can be the inferior version of the real thing but the quality of the food here was top-notch, especially for a festival. Was so sad they ran out of my favorite almond cookie with apricot jelly though - apparently they ran out the first day! Better luck next time.

It looks beautiful from the outside, and is easily one of the most impressive synagogues in South Florida. It contains both Byzantine and Moorish architecture. I drive by it daily and cannot help noticing it. It was organized in 1949 and underwent a 2 million dollar renovation in 2012 by Kenneth Treister, who is also responsible for the sculpture at the front of the temple, "The Dove of Peace." It was made from bronze and imported Jerusalem stone. Throughout the years, the synagogue has been visited by thousands of tourists. Further, it has hosted many notable statesmen and religious leaders, among them President Ronald Reagan, President Bill Clinton, Senator Henry M. Jackson, the Dalai Lama, and Desmond Tutu. Interesting, isn't it? I'd love to see (and photograph) the interior but it was closed. Does anyone have any idea of how/when I can get in?

Rabbi Irving Lehrman was our leader and by his side you could always find the Rebbitzen Belle. I was one of the fortunate ones who was active in the Temple from a young age. I served as the first President of the USY (United Synagogue Youth) chapter and further, first served as the Chazan for the Junior Services and then the TeenAge services which were held in the social hall and then moved to the Delano Hotel and opened to more than just teenagers (also blew the Shofar). Rabbi Eugene Weiss served as the Rabbi. He was a brilliant young man who unfortunately passed away when he was still a young man with a brilliant future ahead of him All who shared these times were among the fortunate.

Enter Temple Beth Shalom School. The parent/child program at this Miami Beach synagogue is so much fun for both mommies and their babies. As the mother of a 1-year-old, I've been attending Mommy & Me classes at the temple since Ava was 4 months old and can honestly attest that the classes have not only exposed my daughter to new and exciting activities, but I too have forged new meaningful friendships. Depending on your child's age, there are different classes to chose from. Activities include singing, painting, drawing, snacking and more -- all based on the Nova University model. So if you're a new mommy and want to engage in some activities outside of your home, go go go to Temple Beth Shalom! Oh, and you don't have to be of the Jewish religion, either. I am actually a die-hard Greek Orthodox Christian and enjoy the exposure to a different faith. Try these classes out, mommies...Jerry Springer is so 2007.

All Souls' has become a place very near and dear to my heart. Three years ago, I came here with my…read moreparents, having not attended church for nearly 20 years. I never anticipated becoming a church go-er, but the welcoming and diverse congregation at All Souls' drew me in from the first day. People from all walks of life, backgrounds, ages and from all over South Florida choose to come to this special church and I immediately felt accepted into this group. The church is led by Father John Tidy, who creates a warm environment and makes an effort to get to know all the parishioners. The church service is a traditional Episcopal Mass with readings, a homily, the offering of peace (which is an event in itself with the whole congregation walking around and welcoming each other) and communion. The music here is exceptional, with a full choir for most of the year an organist/music director. Traditional hymns are mixed in with more modern songs and classical pieces. After mass, we get together for a potluck brunch and social hour, where we (literally) break bread together. The church also offers outreach events, educational talks and centering prayer. I feel like this review only scratched the surface of my affinity for my church. The spiritual teachings and time for reflection have deeply impacted my life for the good. All Souls' is a sanctuary from the hustle bustle of Miami Beach life and a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning, a refreshing alternative from staying in bed or bottomless brunches (well every once in a while you need one of those too...).
