The Happy Minyan was the happiest shul I\u2019ve ever been to, everyone was hugging, dancing and smiling the whole time \u2013 it wasn\u2019t just about the post lecha dodi dancing, this was full on happiness. It was also one of the most diverse minyanim I have ever seen. There were chassidim, yeshivish, modern orthodox, hippies and everything in between and lots of baalei teshuva. The age of the crowd was also a big range and the only disappointment I had was the fact that you couldn\u2019t see the ladies. The mechitza was full heights and you could sillouhettes, but full on bodies were not visible and I was kind of mad. So during the post lecha dodi dance I stopped by the curtains and stuck my full head inside the ladies section for a good view \u2013 there were definitely some hotties in there and none of them were dancing which I found strange.<\/p>\n

For shabbos shachris I chose to go to B\u2019nai David, some folks told me it was a super left wing modern orthodox shul that would provide a lot of material. I have noticed that many people have different views of places when they haven\u2019t actually been there, I didn\u2019t get a lot of material there \u2013 though I intend to do a full review of the shul and it wasn\u2019t super left wing at all. However, I should note that it was an extremely friendly and welcoming shul, something I haven\u2019t experienced much in the modern orthodox community. Not only did multiple people say good shabbos to me, I was invited out for lunch and got an aliyah \u2013 but look for the full review in the next few days. Oh and their cholent was amazing and I saw Esther Kustanowitz at kiddush at we did some schmoozing which was nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
