It looks beautiful from the outside, and is easily one of the most impressive synagogues in South Florida. It contains both Byzantine and Moorish architecture. I drive by it daily and cannot help noticing it. It was organized in 1949 and underwent a 2 million dollar renovation in 2012 by Kenneth Treister, who is also responsible for the sculpture at the front of the temple, "The Dove of Peace." It was made from bronze and imported Jerusalem stone. Throughout the years, the synagogue has been visited by thousands of tourists. Further, it has hosted many notable statesmen and religious leaders, among them President Ronald Reagan, President Bill Clinton, Senator Henry M. Jackson, the Dalai Lama, and Desmond Tutu. Interesting, isn't it? I'd love to see (and photograph) the interior but it was closed. Does anyone have any idea of how/when I can get in?

Rabbi Irving Lehrman was our leader and by his side you could always find the Rebbitzen Belle. I was one of the fortunate ones who was active in the Temple from a young age. I served as the first President of the USY (United Synagogue Youth) chapter and further, first served as the Chazan for the Junior Services and then the TeenAge services which were held in the social hall and then moved to the Delano Hotel and opened to more than just teenagers (also blew the Shofar). Rabbi Eugene Weiss served as the Rabbi. He was a brilliant young man who unfortunately passed away when he was still a young man with a brilliant future ahead of him All who shared these times were among the fortunate.

Afterwards, we all took a moment to reconnect with old friends and even meet some new ones! It was terrific through & through. We will definitely be back from snow Connecticut soon!

My husband grew up at Temple Judea. Shortly after we rejoined more than 30 years ago, we attended a…read moreTemple family picnic. 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.

They replaced worship with acts of what they perceive as Justice. In other words, sadly, they are a tv commercial for all things Democrat. There is no room for any diversity of thought. If you think Trump is more likely to end the war and bring home the hostages you will feel extreme discomfort here. If you think anti semitismm comes from Democrats and the Left ( which of course it does!) then do not stop foot here. If you are very much a left winger you will like it here and this shul is a 5. If you are even considering a vote for DiSantis or Trump you should find another temple.

We became members of Temple Bat Yam 2 years ago and immediately experienced the warm and welcoming promise stated in the TBY logo slogan.

We particularly like the Temple's commitment to the concept of Tikkum Olem (acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world). All are welcome with open arms. We can't wait to be together again in person with Rabbi Spey and the rest of the congregation.
