Young Israel Shomrai Emunah of Greater Washington

A synagogue with very cold people. If you're not an ultra-orthodox Jewish, they won't say hello to you or even look at you. The rabbi is very impolite.

Love coming here to daven, they have groups for ages 2-9 during Shabbat, and mommy and me for under 2 years. The have multiple minyans, including a Sephardic one. It is a very warm diverse place where everyone is welcomed. My daughters look forward to every Shabbat here and of course kiddish where the seek out shabbat treats.

Deeply disappointed in my experience there. As a guest there recently, barely anyone bothered to say hi or shabat Shalom. The atmosphere was extremely cold and unfriendly. This shul really needs to up its game.

Fantastic synagogue. Head Rabbi is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Congregation members are for the most part very friendly. Tremendous number of activities for the youth as well as smaller children. Have alot of family activities as well. Plus it is centrally situated near kosher food establishments and very large kosher market.

This synagogue has a lot going on. They have minyanim to cater to all different types of people- Sfardi, Early, Late, Youth. There is place for people of all ages here. They have great programming for kids. It can feel fragmented due to all the different parts that sometimes the "whole" can feel a little lost. However, the Rabbi's and people in this community are wonderful.
