The perfect little Gurdwara amongst a residential area. I would love to come here again. I wish we had stayed here longer... next time for sure.

From the owner: All are welcome to this place of worship. The services are on Sundays (11:30am) and Fridays…read more(7:30pm) and are according to the Sikh religious tradition.

I first became aware of the langar when Anthony Bourdain visited the Golden Temple in Punjab…read more Realizing that we had several gurudwaras here I looked for the closest one. Tuesday was not busy, mostly staff, volunteers and some older congregants. Sundays after services are more highly attended. On my first visit a volunteer helped me with the ablution (sinks to wash your hands after you remove your shoes) and then showed me the prayer hall where I received a piece of Kara Parshad. We then moved on the langar. The meal is vegetarian, communal and free to members of all faiths and stations in life. Sundays meal tends to have more choices, but typical is dal, roti, yogurt, a salad with chai and cookies for desert. The Sikhs are very welcoming to non-Sikhs so go and experience a langar for yourself.

I m requesting the management to provide the financials ( Profit and loss, monthly balance sheets , general ledger) as the Eknoor website only has tax returns and not financials listed. Reposting my whatsApp message for reference ( which was deleted by the management). Sat Sri Akal Question for Eknoor Gurdwara management: I heard On Facebook Live Jagmohan Singh Kohli Veerji said Gurudwara kitchen will be closed temporarily in order to expand internally. Why was that? Was there a legal kitchen permit for the outside kitchen? I ask since I don't see any permits posted in the kitchen. How was this kitchen built in the first place? Was any inspection done before which says that this was a legal kitchen and permitted to use? The sangat paid for that kitchen. I'm now afraid that the kitchen was not even legally constructed. Who authorized for this construction ? Which contractor was involved? Why did the contractor did not counsel on this? Will you be reimbursing Sangat back for that? Now you're saying we're expanding inner hall and working on constructing kitchen inside so you're asking for more donation/help from Sangat ? If the Gurudwara management was following all the rules in the first place this should have not been the case today. On the same note, why is the management not posting the financials on the notice board for transparency? Let me remind this is supposed to be public information since this is a 501c(3). I'm afraid the money might go to waste again. This is hard earned money of sangat and we as devotees always want the betterment of our gurughar, hence request all the actions taken for gurughar should be legal and transparent to the sangat. We want the best for our Gurudwara sahib and everyone is dedicating their time and money so that our kids and the generation after that can be attached to this Gurudwara Sahib

Super controlling and very annoying behavior of the management. Went their twice and never want to…read morego again. I am sure, Pratima's are there but soul of them already left the way they behave to the devotees. They really need to go to Punjabi temples and gurudwaras, where everything is smooth and with everyone's respect is the priority. 1st experience.... management was giving hard time to an elderly man for asking more food, because they wanted everyone else to get the food first, but do not care about that old man, who was just asking for little more rice... Just shame on them... 2. This Diwali, they were not allowing people to do Deepmala inside, they were simply ignoring and Astha of the devotees. I would not prefer to go to such place, where you cannot even worship freely with your beliefs. When I made them aware of the situation, all they have was SORRY...If you can't fix the issues, then sorry is useless, me personally I like to go to Radhe Krishna Temple in Irving, because it does not feel like, you are at someone's personal property, you actually feel like that you are at a temple. But Hindu Temple Fort Worth always feels like, you are at someone's personal property.

I recently moved back to Dallas and I really love spending time here and going to services. Rabbi Paley and Cantor Croll are a great team. Temple Shalom is a warm, loving and nurturing home for anyone interested in seeking connections with other people, with programs and projects in the community, with the deep and rich heritage of our people and, ultimately, with God. Our Temple seeks to enrich all of the lives of our family through the three historic aspects of synagogue life; a house of prayer, a house of study and a place for meaningful gathering. Temple Shalom offers a full complement of worship opportunities. Shabbat morning services, Tot Shabbat services, as well as holiday and festival celebrations, are the hallmark of our continued effort to connect with others and with God. They are almost done with remodeling much of the building. There are some beautiful changes to an already inviting temple.
