Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Email the rabbi at menschmidt@gmail.com or call (215) 435-0646 to ask about services and how to visit..

What to expect

The website does not describe a visit. Ask the rabbi which services are held, when they start, and whether a visitor is welcome at a service or a learning session.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask the rabbi for the service times and where to enter before you go.
  • Ask what to wear, since the site does not say.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The website asks visitors to contact the rabbi for service times. It describes no classes, membership steps or visitor programs, so the way in is unclear..
