Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the Friday evening service at 6:30 pm or the Shabbat morning service from 10 am, or call 215-514-0729 first to ask about Hebrew school, the teen club or the women's circle. You can also send a question through the site's form..
What to expect
Services are led by Rabbi Sholom Goldshmid. The Friday service is listed as 6:30 to 7 pm, and Shabbat morning services start at 10 am and are followed by kiddush at 12:30 pm. The site does not describe seating, dress, or how guests are greeted, so ask when you call.
Tips for your first visit
- Call 215-514-0729 before you come to ask about dress and seating, which the site does not cover.
- Plan your ride: the site does not mention parking or transit.
- Arrive a few minutes before the service starts.
Newcomer welcome
Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The site says the congregation welcomes all people regardless of level of religious practice or background, and gives a phone number and a question form to start. It does not describe what a first service is like..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Low cost. Hebrew school tuition is $300 per child; the page does not say whether that is per year. No child is turned away for lack of funds, and families can call to talk about costs. The pages read do not list a charge for services.
Access and languages
- Wheelchair access
- We do not know yet. Ask the group before you go.
- Languages spoken
- We do not know yet which languages are spoken.
Requirements
We found no special requirements. Ask the group if you are not sure.
