A very inspirational small synagogue that is accepting of all levels of understanding of Judaism…read more One of the longest continuously running congregations on Long Island that is constantly adapting to change with recently implemented Zoom services and adult religious lessons and many adaptations to encourage a wide variety of perspectives. No Hebrew School or building fund means very modest dues making this perhaps the most affordable congregation one can find. Yet it is rich in spirit. Members come from many areas of Long Island and Queens to this modest Shul located just a short distance south of the Garden City Hotel. Progressive yet very spiritual and deeply religious Rabbi.

This merger will strengthen an already strong and vibrant center of Reform Judaism on the south shore of Long Island, and create an even better community for the members of both legacy congregations. We did it once before with the Judea/Suburban merger and we will do it again with the TBT/TEEM merger!

I am proud to be a member of Manetto Hill Jewish Center, a warm and inviting synagogue. A place…read morethat welcomes young children, a place that is open to interfaith couples, a place were you can grab a cup of coffee with your Rabbi and a place were you feel like you really belong. My three kids love going to Hebrew school! They are lucky to have wonderful Hebrew school teachers and benefit from small class sizes that allow them to really learn about Jewish life, our culture, about Israel and most importantly learn to read Hebrew through one on one personalized Hebrew lessons. My family joined Manetto Hill Jewish Center 8 years ago because we were looking for an affordable temple that offered young family programming. We could not have imagined that it would become a second home, the memories we would make and how many life long friends we would meet that are like family.

We joined TBE last year and we finally found our "home." The clergy are warm and caring with big…read morepersonalities. Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Tara and Cantor Adam are vibrant people who make the service come alive. The services are beautiful, powerful, and meaningful. The prayers are set to uplifting melodies and are enjoyable to attend. There are two sanctuaries. There is a smaller one that is older that is breathtaking. The larger one seats over 400 people and was designed by a famous architect. The congregants range from young families to seniors and are all welcoming. There are many opportunities to get involved and take interesting classes. I took the beginner Hebrew class for adults and found it helpful. I am also impressed by the overall operation and management of TBE by Executive Director, Stu Botwinick. Stu, Dafna, and Joy (who run the TBE office) are responsive, helpful, organized and warm. TBE's medical advisory committee is excellent and TBE adheres to strict COVID safety policies and measures. Lastly, TBE's caterer is W Kosher Catering. Craig is a pleasure to work with. Food is delicious and was beautifully presented. Wonderful place for a simcha. Love the roof deck!

Temple Sinai is a very small Reform synagogue with pretty traditional roots. It is a very warm and…read moreopen community with members from a wide mix of backgrounds. Many of them have religiously mixed marriages. The Rabbi is amazing - very smart, always up on current topics, and tries to keep the members engaged during services. It's also very informal - jeans for services: no problem. The only negatives are that Temple Sinai does not offer Saturday services unless there is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, and only the High Holy Days are celebrated by services on their actual dates. Also, the facilities are not fancy so if you want glitz and glamour, this is not the place for you. However, it is the people and Rabbi that make a temple and that is what brought me here 10 years ago and why I still belong, even though my daughter finished religious school long ago.

I had some bad educational experiences in my youth but this was the worst! Extremely racist student…read morebody plus some of the teachers were also racist including nuns. Was one of only a couple of students of color during the early 1980s and it was pure hell! Called the N-word and much worse on a daily basis, racially discriminated against in class activities and heard some very anti-semetic comments come directly from the nuns including that the "Jews killed Jesus"! I hope things have changed over time but I'm pretty sure that area is as racially segregated it as it ever was

My kids loved the nursery school, Gan Shalom, and all of us have made many lifelong friends being part of the community. Rabbi Lee is brilliant and a mensch. Rabbi Jodie is exactly the kind of role model I'd want for my children. And Cantor Eric, besides being an amazing jazz musician, brings heart and soul to every service. If you're looking for an unpretentious, progressive, community-oriented Judaism, RSNS may be the perfect fit.

I was very impressed with the covid safety procedures, as well as the interview. The teachers really seem to care about the kids and everyone had great answers for how they work with/help children with speech delays. I felt 100% comfortable sending my son here for his first school-type experience. They also graciously gave us our deposit for camp back when it turned out we were moving and unable to attend. Very sad to miss out on the opportunity to send my son there but hopeful that my spot opens up for someone else to benefit from this great program!
