I had my Bar Mitzvah here back in 1986. Really beautiful Synagogue, but we mostly did it to please my grandparents, since they were Orthodox (I was just waiting for the big reception party with friends and family back at our house following the ceremony). I also attended high school nearby at Edward R. Murrow, so I always would pass by EMJC on my way to and from school. I got a scholarship from them for going to Israel the summer after I graduated from Murrow, and also for when I went off to college.
I intern there. It's a nice place for seniors who live in the area.
Although this is listed as a Conservative synagogue, they were very warm and welcoming to the very liberal/progressive/radical artists who put on the spectacular Purim show.
