This temple proves that "If you build it, they will come."…read more There are actually two Sai Babas, with the more well known one (in the US, at least) being Sathya Sai Baba, a 'spiritual guru' type who has a surprisingly strong following even among Latinos here in Miami (the pictures of him usually show him with an afro and red/orange robe). He is also considered by some the reincarnation of the original Sai Baba (of Shirdi), who is a Hindu saint. This temple is devoted to the original Sai Baba. While his following is small by Hindu standards (with a billion plus Hindus worldwide, 'small' could be a few million though), the quick growth of this temple shows that there is enough followers locally to justify its existence. Located in one of Doral's many nondescript warehouse areas (Layali is within walking distance), the only sign you are greeted with asks you to remove your shoes and wash your hands. To the right of the door is a small spigot to do just that. Inside, a stage with a large, decorated Sai Baba idol is buttressed by some smaller idols and bright lights that slowly spin. Next to the stage is 3 carpeted sitting areas (one for men, one for women, and one for 'bhajans,' which is for people who will be singing devotional songs). It is pretty simple. The Indian couple who run it are very pleasant and are sometimes singing bhajans. There is no chitchat; people come and pray and then leave. You will probably not gain much insight into Sai Baba, but It is quite peaceful and meditative.

I'm incredibly grateful to have found Sacred Vedic Arts and the wonderful people who make it what it is. It is more than a place I visit--it feels like a community I belong to.

And as much as I love that line I attend them both. Churches, Catholic ones in particular seem to have a quiet power over me. I'm suddenly five years old in my first CCD class. The prayers are now familiar although I'm always slow in regurgitating the words. And when I sit there the same things always come to mind: Why are these seats so hard? Why does every church have some fund they're collecting money for, usually a new building? Who designs these things? How much longer do I have to sit here? St. Timothy's is no different, the long, benches are hard. Talk about punishment. The design is strange. So all in all this church as churches go is a ok. Sorry, I'm not the best Catholic, I retired a while ago.

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.

We came here to attend the 19 hour weekend course Camino Del Matrimonio, which is a marriage prep…read moreclass which has been in existence for over 40 years and originated in Miami Dade and had game highly recommended by our parish. To marry in the Catholic Church it is a requirement to attend a marriage preparatory class, aka pre Cana class. Initially we were checking the box but afterwards we came away with much more than we bargained. What an awesome experience. There were 11 tables with 11 married couples that had been married between 17 and 46 years each who volunteered to speak about their experiences over the course of the two day period covering topics such as Marriage Finance, and The Stages of Marriage. The cost of the course is $125 per couple but once you have completed it you can return for free. The cost included all meals, and towards the end, if you are Catholic the sacrament of reconciliation can be received by various priests who come to take them. The class ended with Mass performed by a rather jovial, Irish, guitar playing Priest over St Patrick's day. You could not ask for a better crowd. More than a class were the personal life experiences woven into each presentation class by the volunteers instructors as well as Deacon Tony from Corpus Christi. Some of these stories simply brought you to tears. It's tough to argue the experience of the combined average of 330 human years of marriage, although I didn't come as a skeptic, all the while faith and belief in God were the centerpiece. I kept an open mind and made very good connections with other couples that had their own marriages set in May 2019. I highly recommend this retreat. Once you attend and complete the marriage preparation class you are always welcome to return free of charge. It's definitely well worth the investment even if you aren't Catholic and have been married many years! You can always learn something new.
