Member Testimonials
“I can’t say enough good things about the Temple Beth Sholom nursery school. Every single
teacher is loving and kind and patient with my children. What a wonderfully magical place to
call home!”
- Sarah L.
“Temple Beth Sholom is a wonderful place! From the first day I joined until today, 29 years later, I’m home. My family and I have had the pleasure + grief of going through many life cycle events here, always with clergy & congregation support in good times and bad. We are a community and a family!”
- Risa S.
“Rabbi Leiken and Cantor Anna have made attending functions and services at Temple Beth
Sholom more than just a religious experience... Services are also fun. They have changed my attitude towards Temple life. My oldest son attended one of their services and immediately started searching for a synagogue in their part of Maryland and joined a Reform congregation in Prince Frederick, Maryland. I am thrilled that I remained a member of my Temple.”
- Barry K.
“I didn’t need to convert to feel welcome here. I was accepted from the moment I started engaging with the Temple Beth Sholom community. I did eventually convert to Judaism after many years, and then something more meaningful occurred — I felt like I really belonged.”
- Gene F.
“TBS effectively reaches out to people of all age groups and generational cohorts: young
children, teens, millennials, Generation Xers, and the empty nester / baby boomer generation. It has become our special “Makom” (place) and holds a very exceptional place in our hearts.”
- David H.
