    Only 4 stars to begin with because we've only been to services once. I was raised in the…read moreGastro-Judaic movement, which is somewhere between reform and reconstructionist (it's not about G-d, it's about the food...hahahaha!) but my husband is more comfortable with the Traditional setting, so here we are; our daughter will be going to hebrew school here in the fall. For those who don't know, Traditional is just a step away from Orthodox, in fact I saw several be-wigged moms in long skirts, but then there was also a woman in a thigh high mini skirt passing out siddurs (prayer books) so this place is accepting of everyone. There are orthodox members as well as those who would be classified as reform and everything inbetween. There is no music...no choir, no organ etc. which I like because music makes it seem like church...and this ain't church. The hyms are all traditional, none of the new melodies like they sometimes have in the conservative, reform or reconstructionist synagogues. The rabbis here have done their best to make us feel welcome...it's very nice when someone you've met only once remembers your name.

    From the owner: Northbrook Community Synagogue (NCS) is an open and traditionally observant synagogue. NCS warmly…read moreembraces all Jews regardless of affiliation, commitment, or background.

    This temple caters to thinkers and spiritual people…read more It welcomes interfaith couples, couples both traditional and less so, singles, etc. It is welcoming and friendly by and large due to it's rabbi. I am sitting temple during Rosh Hashanah service and writing this text to my rabbi after listening to his sermon. "Your sermons are so spot on they almost make me want to stand up in the middle of them and shout "damn right, man!" This year was the best of them, you captured the esoteric crisis I and others have with religion being form over substance and not relating to the need to find a source for "nutz and bolts" guidance on the path to enlightenment or even in stemming the tide of frustration experienced by us in a world where accountability for ones actions becomes more and more scarce. Hope you don't get this in the middle of the service but I needed to write it while stirred by the similarity of our world view expressed in your sermon."

    Cantor Michael Davis officiated my wedding on August 31 at the Field Museum, and did a beautiful…read morejob. The ceremony was the perfect length, and was super personal and meaningful. We live in California and so can't speak to the quality of the synagogue itself, but I can say that Cantor Michael is really inspiring, a great Jewish educator... not to mention that he's a great cantor with a spectacular voice.

    Temple Chai is a wonderful place to bring and raise your family. We have been members for roughly…read more14 years and have had both of our children Bar/Bat Mitzvah'd here and love the staff and clergy. It is a very warm place for all and we enjoy attending High Holiday and Shabbat services, as well as many other events throughout the year. We are very good friends with many of the congregants and are honored to be affiliated with such a terrific group of people. In addition to being very active overall at the Temple, we feel that the Temple's Chai Guys Brotherhood and the Women of Temple Chai are enjoyed by all involved. Keep up the great work!

    I have been a member of Temple Chai for about 8 years. Shabbat services on Friday nights are…read moregrounding, spiritually moving, full of song -- and are very well attended by regulars and newcomers alike. There is a great Torah study group on Saturday mornings. The staff who guide and educate the B'nai mitzvah students are well respected within the temple community and do a tremendous job in educating our young people. There are many adult education opportunities. The Israel committee of the temple organizes amazing congregational trips to Israel every two years and this December is the fourth or fifth one, I believe. I went on the 2013 trip and I am going on this year's trip as well. My first trip was packed with sights, experiences, and activities that I will never forget and I can't wait to be part of this year's. I am very happy to be part of the Jewish community at Temple Chai.
