Words that can best describe Ramat Shalom are warm, welcoming, spiritual, and comfortable, even social. I have the privilege of being a member of this special place for 4 years and can truly say I have found my Jewish home. Rabbi Andrew is committed to making services a learning, spiritual, thought provoking and enlightening experience and I never have that "I need to leave" feeling as I did at a prior synagogue in my life. For me that is a huge accomplishment and gives a true picture of how engaging Rabbi Andrew and Cantor Debbie are. What is most appealing is how Rabbi is able to relate to the diverse age group Ramat serves and to see the members truly enjoy each other and all get along whether at services or social events. Rabbi Andrew is an active Rabbi attending every event, which he looks like he actually enjoys and participating with his congregants. He is available 24/7 for all for the good and the bad. On another note, I never thought I would ever learn or could learn Hebrew but this summer I attended adult Hebrew classes with Cantor Debbie and I learned. Her dedication to the kids and seniors is amazing too. In general all programming at Ramat is first rate!! Thanks Rabbi Andrew, Cantor Debbie and staff for making Ramat a place I want to go!
