Temple Emanu-El

The lady at the front desk was really lovely and accompanied me to enable me to have a look around even though I hadn't turned up during a normal 'tour' time. She also let me look around the museum exhibition on my own which felt like a private viewing!

It had been years since my previous visit to New York. Thanksgiving weekend 2015 and the weather was simply lovely. I strolled along 5th Avenue and found this synagogue where there were numerous NYC police officers standing. I had attended a number of bar mitzvahs as a boy in Pittsburgh but hadn't been in a synagogue since. I asked if it was possible visit. Truly remarkable.

This congregation that I visited for the first time had so much grace I was moved to tears. The Rabbi, a graceful female who was wholly and holy interested in current scientific and natural events gave a teaching of current events tied into a love for Our Father, the God of Abraham. The Cantors and adjoining delightful musical group can only be designed as Love and a graceful understanding of a moving and loving display for our God of Abraham , Isaac, and Jacob. Moved to tears during a sermon I chose to leave a little early as this felt as good or better then any Broadway show!!! I'd rate the leaders and the flock of this graceful Jewish display of love witnessed by myself, a proud Jewish man who will definitely be back this time with a handkerchief to dry the tears the whole of this congregation and it's display of an intelligent approach to bring the love to their most gracious leaders and the entity of the Temple's congregation where I'll definitely reach out to again. Unbelievable is the only word that describes this Friday night event that seemed the best show grace and love for Our Elo!!!
