The Boston Synagogue

“Though I have lived in Cambridge for over 10 years and know some members of your congregation, this… was the first time I actually “got my act together” and attended one of your services, and they were wonderful. Often some of the best things in your community are right under your nose (or in this specific instance, across a bridge...)”

“… thanks for a terrific time in the Sukkah last night. I can't believe how different this program is from the one the kids were attending before. XXXX said she read her prayers at the bima for the first time yesterday and all of a sudden, looking out at the chairs where her family would be sitting, she filled up with something, "joy" she thought it was. I look forward to seeing this "joy" develop as she progresses through the preparation in your worthy hands. Thanks so much.”

“Thank you kindly for your warm welcome to myself and my stepdaughter … when we davened Neilah with you yesterday. My husband … is recuperating from surgery in Spaulding and it is wonderful to have such a hamisch shul so close.”

“I wanted to thank you very much again for the wonderful Yom Kippur we spent in your company. Your warm hospitality made it indeed a very special one.”

“The enclosed is for the marvelous Shabbat dinner in your Sukkah and for the warmth and generosity of your hospitality to us and our British friends."

“Yesterday I brought my … class to the Boston Synagogue … and I’m writing to thank you sincerely for your hospitality and receptivity…. The encounter at the Synagogue was exceptionally enlightening and meaningful… We sat in the sanctuary, took the Torah out, and experienced the Sukkah, the lulav and etrog, etc. My [students] were very stimulated and moved by the experience, a “first” for ninety percent of them. I … want to thank you and the rest of the Synagogue’s leadership, as well as your wonderful Synagogue staff, Noah and Deborah, both of whom were just terrific.”
