Temple Israel

In the hunt for a synagogue in Boston, there were many to choose from! I think I made a good choice with Temple Israel for many reasons:
+ It is very accessible via bus or car, and they validate parking in a secured garage.
+ The facility is old and historic, and very very beautiful
+ The congregation is the most diverse and varied I’ve ever, ever experienced. They are open to interfaith, homosexual, young, and old.
+ Very affordable dues and payment options.
The only downsides to this synagogue is that despite the fact that I love the inclusion and diversity, it is a little too «modern», I guess. They break away from the usual «Gates of Repentance» book that most of us are familiar with, using different melodies for standard prayers (sh’ma, viahavta, avot, etc.) that, unless you have always gone to this temple, you won’t know.
