“I love my community”
“I love my community. I love my rabbi [R. Levi Varnai]. I like the diversity here, having Jews from all around the world. I don’t have enough words to express how happy I am with our community. The people are really helpful. It’s an embracing community—I feel very connected, and part of the Jewish community.”

“It does give the impression of being like a big family”
“The boundaries between shuls are so porous here, and you will often see Rabbis and teachers teaching at shuls other than their own…It does give the impression of being like a big family.”
