I visited before in 2016 and felt to shy too enter. I came again and wow. I really had such a…read morewelcome feeling. Everyone seemed like friends . Sat in on a service. I was given a book to use during the service & afterwards folks showed me how to do one of the rituals with incense by the main alter. The Buddhist priest Mr。Ikeda had some chapters chosen for the new year mass greeting 。 Afterwards there was a tea upstairs. We all could meet up and chat and ask any questions. There was also like a fellowship potluck. (Yummy.) Everyone seems like friends. Kindhearted people. It seems more people should be here. It seems perfect in the Big Apple. The church has a nice history in this city. There is service in Japanese and in English. Maybe if you feel stressed and want to find a way to deal with it in a healthy method you might consider coming here. Make time for yourself to learn something new. They'll give you a little food for thought. A thought to carry you through the week. I enjoyed that little thought of positivity. I also enjoyed that since this is the Year of The Dog, they sold beautiful handmade items. Just like they do in Japan. They are decorative and I'd say they charmingly welcome good luck your way. (1)There was Sumi-e ink art created by the head monk here. Rather elegant and beautiful. (2)There were also wooden Ema available for sale($5). "Ema" are wooden wishing plaques. People write their wishes or prayers on a wooden plaque then hang you it up. Wish for anything! Of course, it has cute artwork on it. You can keep your wooden ema with wishes or without your wish on it if you want. I've done both. (()In the Edo period in Japan writing your wish on an Ema was a way you could communicate your wish to god.) The building itself: I must say it was also interesting that it was one the building of William Randolph hearst's mistress. Actress Marion Davies! What a beautiful building. A delight to see the rooms. (^^)/ Check there url. Visit when they are open. Do you need a little good luck charm from the Buddhist Church? Yes!! Make a new friend. Learn a different way of looking at things. A way to enjoy your life.learn to manage your stress.

One of the advantages of living in a multicultural place of New York is the opportunities to attend…read moredifferent exciting, cultural events. Working in an office setting five days a week can make life mundane and well, boring, so on the weekends, I try to explore fun activities around town to educate and enliven myself a bit. This past weekend, I visited the New York Buddhist Church's White Elephant Sale . This church has been serving the New York community since 1938 and regularly hosts special events and programs throughout the calendar year. The White Elephant Sale is a fundraiser held in the basement of the church. Setup like a flea market, there were random items, mostly oriental properties, for bidding and selling, but I actually had my sight on the homemade Japanese snacks and foods. I could not leave this place empty-handed, so I purchased some grandma made vegetarian and inari sushi ($4). Sure, the presentation is a bit spartan and simple, but the genuine bites transported me to a traditional Japanese home decorated in tatami mats. Love these stimulating excursions.

I just added this masjid to Yelp, so I could leave a well-intentioned kind review. Too bad my Yelp…read moreapp won't return the favor and let me paste the review I already typed on Google. As a Muslimah, I'm making an effort to provide useful information to other sisters, so...I have to say, compared to all of the other masajid I've been to in Jersey City, this is the most dignified place I've found to pray. You are given your space, sisters are kind and welcoming, not bossy or bullying, and the women's bathroom/wudu facilities are adequate and appear to be fairly comparable to the men's (now that I've added some mirrors--hope it helps InshAllah). The masjid is quite clean, though it's hard to keep up with the kids tracking food around (have experienced crumbs on my face coming up from sujood). At least there's a vacuum available to the sisters, unlike at other masajid, where I've had crumbs on my face when I was praying alone, i.e. the floor was not left clean and no vacuum in sight. It would maybe be a good idea to make some cleaning wipes and a Swiffer mop available in the bathroom (and more, cleaner foot ware). I have had random people's children climbing on me while in sujood, grab me in the butt while standing (they're reaching up for who they think is mom), and have had to watch them step on my cell phone while in ruku'...In my dreams, I'd love to have separate "family" and solo sisters' prayer area, or some separate child care in which we could rotate or have older children babysit. But I digress--- this is just my wishlist for any masjid. Don't get me wrong though: I love having the kids there and that the moms are able to come pray in the masjid.

My wife and I…read morearen't Reformed so I don't think we could ever become a member of any Presbyterian church, especially a PCA church like Redeemer Hoboken. However, we wanted to get a sense of what some other churches in Hoboken were like. It really felt that Redeemer Hoboken was a tight-knit community. The Sunday service felt like it was a natural expression of the community life, which was nice to see, instead of it feeling like a well-rehearsed, scripted production. While I thought the song choice and music style was a little dated, the musicianship itself was excellent and I was able to get into the worship time more than I do at most Presbyterian churches. It's always great to see a diversity of churches exist in a particular community and I hope Redeemer Hoboken continues to flourish.
