A very welcoming and inclusive community.

My child was not safe here. The Temple has lied about what happened both to our family as well as to the community at large. A teacher was repeatedly exposing little kids to a toxic substance (vaping) and was protected by both the school as well as the temple for more than a year. In fact, this was brought to their attention many, many times and still they would not intervene on behalf of the little guys. I don't understand this nor do I feel good about a place that thinks this is OK. They lied to the parents numerous times and even sent a letter out to the entire community that they knew to be false. The folks at the highest positions of leadership still hold those positions.

I was invited by a friend for a singing performance/show. I was well received by friendly people and the event was nice. They have a good art showcase inside with a lot of history.

Questions & Answers

Is it considered impolite to refer to Jews as "Hebrews"? This came up in a conversation online and some people got very offended. Thanks for your time.

Steven, No it is not at all impolite to refer to Jews as Hebrews. It is only strange. It would be like calling Europeans, Celts. It's just a very archaic term. They were Hebrews in Egypt and in the wilderness. They were Israelites in Israel. After 1948 they are now Israelis. Jews are called Jews as they are all descended from the Kingdom of Judah before the Roman invasion. So as you see, Jew makes the most sense to address one today.
