Our
Philosophy
Imagine ...
A Synagogue that welcomes all,
with affordable yearly dues, and no building fund.
A Synagogue where women are welcome
on the Bima and the children are invited to open
the Ark or lead the Congregation in the V'A-HAVTAH
during Shabbat morning services.
A Synagogue without a separate
Children's Service because we believe that children
belong with their parents. (How else will they
develop memories of playing with the fringes on
Papa's or Zaide's Tallis in Shul?)
A Synagogue with warmth, traditional
spirituality, and a modern social philosophy.
A Synagogue that takes a pro-active
stand within the community.
A Synagogue that is committed
to supporting programs which provide food
for the hungry and homeless.
A Synagogue that welcomes all,
whether Jewish, or simply curious about Judaism.
... that
Synagogue is Congregation Amchah
Here's what one of our
members has to say...
Nine years ago, with my first
child at three years of age, I decide to look
for a spiritual home. While looking through the
yellow pages I came across an ad for Congregation
Amchah. I called and talked diectly to our then
Rabbi, Larry Winer. I asked many questions; was
my intermarriage welcomed, yes was the answer,
were my children welcomed during the service,
yes was the answer. I decide to go and check out
a Shabbat service, and what I found was a small
group of the most welcoming people, an atmosphere
that was nurturing to both my children, and to
my wife and myself. After nine years, and some
growing, both in numbers and spiritually, I have
concluded that this is the only temple in South
Florida that I want to belong to. - SETH
