This is a really nice meditation and Tibetan Buddhist practice center. I attended several teaching…read morehere and and the visiting Tibetan lama, who speaks English very well, was humble, sincere, and enlightening (ha ha!). The space is beautiful and the other attendees were friendly, but not pushy. They have regular practice on Sunday morning, and some other days, even when the lama is not in town teaching. I felt welcome and comfortable asking questions. There is a bookstore with many books, and other dharma items like prayer flags, incense and statues. I recommend this place if you are are exploring Buddhism.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this church / spiritual center!! Spirituality is such an individual essence that…read moreit's not always transferable. With that said, anyone can find a home here, especially if you want to throw hell and damnation to the side and focus on love, and self-growth, and a general aspiration for feeling good about life. This place naturally, without effort, for the first time in my life, makes me prioritize my Sundays around service and makes me excited to be involved in mid-week activities. It's genuinely changed my life. The minister makes this place the wonderful sanctuary that it is, and I hope he sticks around for a very long time. It is definitely not the "stand behind the pulpit, monotone voice" kind of place. Man, it just makes my heart sing. You'll be heard, you'll be valued, you'll be loved, you'll be welcomed. I hope you check it out. They have classes, gatherings, fellowships, service, a bookstore, and a loaner library, plus more, all rolled into one.

I visited Chofetz Chayim and considered becoming a member. What a great central location to provide…read moreservices to needy and poor folks of Tucson. But you won't find that here. The Synagogue is in a repurposed school and has not been upgraded or modernized in 50 years. It is rather cluttered, furnishings are old and tired, the place could use some attention or just a good thorough cleaning. It appears like the caretakers aren't too keen on stewardship, perhaps. The Congregation seems to be heavily focused raising money, it is very conservative with old ideas which goes way beyond "orthodox." Despite being in this area for nigh a half century, there is nothing in the way of community outreach and few people in the neighborhood know the place exists. Sadly, I could not find it on my first visit and those I asked in the neighborhood (I was on foot) directed me to another place down the street. Too bad, because this Synagogue has all the ingredients to do amazing work on G-d's behalf -- a commercial kitchen, big meeting hall, several classrooms, plenty of land to build a community center. Unfortunately, I discovered they seem to be all about receiving and not giving. They have a big, beautiful bathhouse -- for their members and an expected donation. If only they built another for the many Tucson homeless. I wish I could say this was a beacon of hope, kindness, and charity. I wish I was writing about free meals, counseling services, no-cost religious classes, and well. . . joy. This is not that place. If you're looking to spend a few thousand to do a jaunt to Israel, then you won't be disappointed.

The "bathhouse" the fake reviewer posted about is called a mikvah. That alone is an indication…read morethat that review was a hatchet job. This shul has less emphasis on money than any shul I know of to date. It is a low key "shetl" type shul. And whether or not you "fit in" with orthodoxy, the Rabbi is one of the most brilliant I've ever met.

It's all about the good company you get to keep and supporting the Shrine. Smiles all around!
