Having been a member for 15 years of the industry roving synagogue, Temple Shofar of the DGA and then having watched it dissolve before my eyes this past Yontif when the Rabbi from Argentina (by way of Israel and Sweden) introduced the African Drummer "Mr. Happy" to accompany us while we chanted our prayers and I whispered "I’m outta here!" to my equally shocked temple mate, I sought in vain for a new temple. But alas, no luck.<\/p>\n
I tried Wilshire Boulevard Temple and though it was okay, I wasn’t 100% happy. I wasn’t used to the massive organ (that’s pipe organ!) and choir (a little goyishe sounding), nor was I prepared for what was essentially a very tightly rehearsed and choreographed service, down to the perfect Little Mermaid-like harmonies {albeit in Hebrew!} between the wonderful Cantor and his guest Cant-ress. So I finished out the New Year feeling very homeless and very dispirited.<\/p>\n
So where can I find your reviews of Temples and Synagogues<\/a>? There’s a large group of us that are looking for direction.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
