Adas Yehuda V’shoshana

Only 4 stars to begin with because we’ve only been to services once. I was raised in the Gastro-​Judaic movement, which is somewhere between reform and reconstructionist (it’s not about G-​d, it’s about the food… hahahaha!) but my husband is more comfortable with the Traditional setting, so here we are; our daughter will be going to hebrew school here in the fall.
For those who don’t know, Traditional is just a step away from Orthodox, in fact I saw several be-​wigged moms in long skirts, but then there was also a woman in a thigh high mini skirt passing out siddurs (prayer books) so this place is accepting of everyone. There are orthodox members as well as those who would be classified as reform and everything inbetween.
There is no music… no choir, no organ etc. which I like because music makes it seem like church… and this ain’t church. The hyms are all traditional, none of the new melodies like they sometimes have in the conservative, reform or reconstructionist synagogues.
The rabbis here have done their best to make us feel welcome… it’s very nice when someone you’ve met only once remembers your name.
