My Nonprofit Reviews

Before I discovered Judaism Your Way, I never felt truly comfortable in a Jewish setting, even though I was born and raised Jewish and attended religious services throughout my life. I always felt somewhat like an imposter and never felt really welcomed and accepted for who I am. I found little spiritual connection in a traditional service and struggled to translate traditional prayers (even in English) into words that made some sense to me). My first introduction to Judaism Your Way was at High Holiday services, during which several parts connected so deeply as to move me to tears: the rabbi’s welcoming remarks, the poems and prayers themselves, and the emphasis on inclusivity and community. Since then, I have attended other services and events, spoken to the rabbi one-on-one, and attended a number of his classes. I feel completely comfortable and accepted in whatever way I want to participate and validated in expressing my own spirituality in ways that are meaningful to me.
