We are both extremely interested and involved in exploring more about jewish identity and background. The class located on the third floor and is extremely interesting for an outsider like myself. The building itself is very clean and well-maintained and in many different classes going on a different plus. There's also a synagogue on the second floor but I've never seen it use as we come late in the evening. There is food which is brought during every class, and this is very good for a hungry group like us. It's also interesting to see the portraits of all the previous chairs on the second floor. All in all, I would say that this building is an important part of Jewish tradition and heritage in Brooklyn.

After shabbat services and other holidays, they have a nice spread for the kiddush meal. My impression? Come here if you don't have a membership commitment and don't want to deal with the "Kosher Nostra" committee sizing you up.

I started going to this shul a few years ago. I had been shul hopping in the neighborhood. Some…read moreshuls I went to had a much older crowd, or the mechitza was too off putting. Most of the time the no one came up to me and said hello or even cared if I ever came back. The Rabbi's never introduced themselves to me. Beth-El is very different! When I first walked in I was taken with the sun shining in from the beautiful stain glass. The women sit on one side and the men sit on the other. When the Torah came around the Rabbi greeted everyone in both the men and women's section! Women aren't ignored in this shul. He welcomed me and invited me to stay for kiddish. The other members of the shul also said hello and wanted to get to know me. Even though people have been going there for years they aren't cliquish at all. There is a book club, movie club and weekly lessons that are always worth coming to. We have a regular group of people who always have interesting opinions. If you're looking to doven at a shul which has a family feel this is the place. There are young people, older people, a mix of black hats and more modern orthodox. Everyone is respectful of each other. There is a full kiddish meal downstairs and people usually stay and talk for a long time afterward. It didn't take long for me to feel at home here, a matter of weeks actually. Within a year I was asked to join the board.

They daven Ashkenazi-Sefard, but it is less chassidish than some of the other nearby shuls. The members of Khilah Marine Park are fantastic. When someone has a baby the community cooks and delivers meals every day for a few weeks. A member sponsors a scholar in residence program for the time between Pesach and Shavous. Past speakers include R' Paysach Krohn and R' Rietti. There is a father and son learning program as well as Shabbos parties for girls. R.
