Rabbi Ben has done a…read moreterrific job making B'Nai Tikvah the kind of place where you look forward to coming after a long week to leave your phone in the car for a couple of hours and unwind. A more down-to-earth and inclusive temple you will not find. My kids love coming to B'Nai Tikvah's family-friendly services on Friday nights. The kids can be themselves: participating actively in the service or playing with other kids in the play room as they choose. Also, chocolate chip challah, treats, and juice/wine for kiddush. The congregation is small enough that we knew all the regulars on a first name basis within a few months. My kids mingled comfortably with the other kids and adults alike. Naomi does a great job with the Hebrew school on Tuesday evenings as well. We've gone to a few B'Nai Mitvahs here and they are well-prepared and confident reading from the Torah. My kids love being Jewish and my 8-year-old has an advanced appreciation for her age of the Jewish community's unique importance in promoting freedom, tolerance, justice, and the sanctity of life.

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.
