My wife and I have been members of Temple Israel of Northern Westchester, a Reform Congregation,…read morefor 16 years. Our two daughters became b'not mitzvah and confirmed here, and they stayed on through Hebrew High School. I have been especially active in Temple life, attend Torah Study weekly, have been the Brotherhood co-president, served on the Board of Trustees some time ago and again for the last three years, on the Building Committee, and I'm now a VP. Admittedly, I'm biased, but for good reason. I can't say enough how warm and welcoming this Temple community is, starting with our incredible Rabbi Jaech, Cantor Ellerin, Director of CJL (Center for Jewish Learning) Guy Felixbrodt, musical director Eddie Pleasant, teachers, Temple leadership, office and custodial staff, many, many volunteers, Youth Group, and of course, congregants. We have an amazing music program including award winning accompanist Dina Pruzhansky, several bands, adult and teen choirs. Shabbat and High Holy Days services are very moving and engaging, and the choir is amazing. There is an extremely active Brotherhood and Sisterhood, Social Justice and Adult Education committees. The Brotherhood organizes Midnight Runs during the cold months. Adult learning is vitally important, and there are many educational programs, during the day, evening and Shabbat. Our location is quite beautiful, tucked away on the top of Mt. Airy. The physical environment within the Temple building is not ostentatious, but comfortable and inviting, with a newly renovated Community Room. I strongly encourage anyone looking for comfort in Judaism to join us on a Friday night, or at any of our programs. Speak with Rabbi Jaech- she is uniquely able to connect to young children, teens, and adults of all ages, she is a great and compassionate leader, and a wonderful teacher.

On June 7th of this year my husband passed away. We had his memorial service in the Chapel in the Woods at Kol Ami for a substantial but reasonable price. I called them to find out about Yizkor Service attendance. (A one hour service) The executive Director told me it would cost $400 for my daughter and I to attend this service due to security reasons. While it may be reasonable to know who is going to attend in advance, I question whether two people will cost that much for security. I believe that Jewish law directs that no mourner should be turned away from Yizkor worship. In the end, my daughter and I went to Yizkor Services at Woodlands Temple with friends. No charge and a welcoming atmosphere.
