Membership at TBS Melrose

Testimonials:

 “Joining TBS was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. TBS is a warm and unconditionally welcoming environment that has inspired wonderful friendships, meaningful spiritual experiences, and opportunities to be involved in both the social action and the governing of this shul. TBS has inspired me to learn and embrace a new spiritual life and grow as a person. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this temple community-it is a place filled with love, joy and acceptance.” Sara Serisky

“TBS and its Shalom School gave me a better understanding of my Jewish identity.  It helped me instill in my children a sense of belonging to a people with a rich history.   I cherish the dozens of friends I have made throughout the two decades that I have been a member.  I feel a strong connection as soon as I enter the temple doors.” Ellen Shore

“We love being a part of the Temple Beth Shalom community. As a young family of 5, we have found that it takes a village to raise us, and TBS has been that village. It’s also a warm, welcoming, spiritual place that our kids feel comfortable in. The two older kids are now in the religious school, and look forward to going to class. Not only are they learning about their history, but they are making forever friends from the school.” Julie Unger

” We can’t imagine our lives without TBS, and we can’t thank the community enough for welcoming us and laying the foundation for our daughter’s Jewish childhood. In her almost 3 years, she has come to think of TBS as her other home in Melrose. She regularly talks about her temple friends and corrects me when I sing a different tune than the “right” one she knows from services. I didn’t know a child — or her parents — could find so much joy in a small congregation, but the people of TBS have embraced us from the day we stepped foot through the front doors.” Yael Mazor-Garfinkle
