Congregation Simchat HaLev

Rabbi Jenn Weinstein held a graveside funeral service for my mother last week and she was wonderful. She was so easy to talk to and having her preside over our service made everything relaxed and comfortable.

Thank you Rabbi Jenn for helping to make this sad moment into a celebration of my mom's life.

Rabbi Jay and Rabbi Jenn have always been there for our family through the good times and the bad. I can't express how much their love and support has meant to us over all these years. We are proud to be a part of Simchat Halev.

Simchat Halev has always been close to my heart. Its where I found my first connection to Judaism, became a B'Mitzvah and got married. Now it's time for our kids to attend. My daughter is eager each week to attend Hebrew school and services. My husband who is not Jewish feels loved, included and accepted. I highly recommend Simchat Halev to anyone looking for "not your Grandparent's synagogue" you wont be disappointed!

Rabbi Jay and Rabbi Jenn are well, there aren’t enough words of greatness to describe them. They b mitzvah’d my daughter and it was the most enjoyable experience from start to finish. They not only bring you into their congregation with such love, but they welcome you into their family. We look forward to any opportunity to be with them. Their services are enjoyable and full of love. I would give them a 100 star rating if I could.

We were lucky enough to find Rabbi Jay and Congregation Simchat HaLev 15 years ago when he officiated a family member's Bar Mitzvah. It was a wonderful Bar Mitzvah ceremony which took place at Congregation Simchat HaLev.

When my partner and I decided to get married after 18 years, Rabbi Jay was the only one we would have considered to marry us. And since the pandemic was raging across the country we could not gather family and friends, so we agreed to a "Zoom" wedding using computers. Despite the circumstances, we were thrilled that 76 people were able to join us on their computers in their own homes!

Rabbi Jay was beyond amazing! His personal approach infused with spirituality and his way of interweaving his knowledge of Judaism made our diverse attendees at ease. Rabbi Jay has a keen sense of understanding what a couple needs. His level of sensitivity and his open heart resulted in a "Zoom Ceremony" that turned out to be even better and more intimate than a live wedding!

Rabbi Jay put all of concerns at ease and we have so much gratitude and appreciation for how he officiated our service. Everyone contacted us afterwards and said it was the best and most emotional service that they had ever attended. The best part of Rabbi Jay is his obvious caring, love and concern for those he serves. He is "the real deal" and SO authentic! His work as a Rabbi is filled with true love and integrity. Thank you Rabbi Jay for all you give to the community! And thank you for making our marriage ceremony on Zoom perfect. It will be remembered by everyone who attended. We are sure of that! With Love and Gratitude, Stacy and Michele #JudaismFueledByLove
