We met this welcoming congregation at our Carlsbad Village Faire that takes place annually…read more Although I am a rock solid Catholic por Vida I have four dear friends that are very close to me and are Jewish. I also learned recently I am 5% Jewish yay! I've always have held the Jewish culture highly. My mother lived with a Jewish family when she came to this country alone and very young. She said they educated her and treated her like part of the family. She has always spoken highly of their culture and passed down her values regarding all cultures and religions of the world. I look forward to visiting this wonderful congregation of humans with my friends that are located so close to our home.

You know, I never think to review a shul bc we tend to Yelp about restaurants or businesses and not…read moresynagogues. But reviews are important for congregations too, and we've had a great experience at Beth Am over the years. I know choosing a home for Jewish spiritual life and community is very personal and subjective, and I know people who are indifferent, others who love it, and others who belong here and also have affiliate memberships elsewhere. What you can expect is a supportive congregation of welcoming neighbors with a huge emphasis on family, life cycle events, community, learning, love of Israel, tzedakah, and simply sharing in the joy of yiddishkeit. Rabbis Kornberg and Earne are compassionate, enthusiastic, engaging, and dynamic, and they put in maximum effort on many fronts each week. There's a tremendous breadth of offerings these days. On some Shabbat mornings, we might have the traditional service in the sanctuary, a separate family service for those with young kids, and another lay-led minyan in our beit midrash. There's also a monthly outdoor campfire Shabbat with music and singing, daily minyan, lecture series, learning opportunities, guest speakers, community events, women's circle, men's club, preschool, Hebrew school, and a youth lounge. Really a lot to offer. There are a lot of congregants, so even though everyone is super welcoming of new faces, it might take a while to get to know people. Come regularly, not just for holidays, to get a more heimish experience. Security is always important, and Beth Am puts tremendous efforts into minimizing vulnerabilities. The entire property is like a fortress with heavy gates, fences, and armed security, and staff is trained to coordinate with local emergency police response. It feels very very safe inside. If you're shul shopping for a conservative congregation, it's definitely worth taking a look and deciding for yourself.

I had been to a few area temples and this one was the one that really drew me in. The services are a mix of classic Reform sings and even some traditional tunes with a non judgmental tone. Even though I live in Oceanside, the beautiful sanctuary, warm people and services brought me back and won my full membership. Congregants are interested in you, and are engaging. The Rabbi and Cantor love kids and welcome families and don't mind if the children want to run around and be themselves. The Rabbi is very relaxed but also has a depth of understanding of classical Jewish texts and subjects for those who want to study. Its a modest size Reform Jewish synagogue with alot to offer relative to the size of the congregation.

This Shul and Rabbi Caine are truly gems! I truly adore this place…read more Ner Tamid can be a little frustrating to get to off a GPS because the GPS cannot seem to route you up the hill that it is on. Don't get frustrated though because it is there and it is beautiful. Located on the top of a hill off Pomerado Rd (not actually on it despite the address) it has beautiful views of the surrounding area and at night you can clearly see the stars and even find yourself surround by cute rabbits! Inside the sanctuary is quite cute and traditional, it can definitely hold a good amount of people and would make a lovely place for events like a wedding and a bar/bat mitzvah. The congregation appears to be mostly families and has to be one of the most warm and welcoming congregations I have walked into. Again, Rabbi Caine is simply amazing. He is kind, funny, and truly a great teacher. It is always an honor to be in his presence.

The Rabi's wife, Nechama, was also very warm, kind and friendly and made you feel very welcome, although it was my first time to attend.She was very well organized and made sure that every thing will take place in timely manner. I really enjoyed her kindness, warm nature and helpful attitude that made so easy for every body to adjust to this nice place.Even the food was great! although that was not the main reason I came for, but the total picture was wonderful experience!
