Been there - it's gret

I grew up going to a Reform temple, so I was a little nervous (to put it lightly). I THOUGHT that they were for more religious people than myself. The Rabbi is a real 'mentch'. He made me feel extrememly comfortable. I couldn't read Hebrew, yet I felt like an equal participant in the service. I was made to feel like I was the most imprtant one there. (Turns out, everyone feels the same way.) And the Rabbi's wife Rochy? She is sooo nice, and she made my wife feel like a queen. Besides all that delicious food she prepares for each of the Shabbat dinners, she ran a kids program during the service as well. Needless to say - after that first visit - I went back again and again. I still pay annual dues at my Conservative temple, but for the real Jewish experience, I go to Chabad!
