“They're a nice organization (other than their LGBTQ policies). I went there for a food package & the lady was very nice & helpful. They had some good choices”

“I recently visited Aikido of Ramapo Valley to watch a class, I must say I was impressed. The location is a little difficult to find but should be no trouble with directions. Upon arriving I hung up my shoes and took the stairs up to the dojo. The mats are well cleaned and the décor is beautiful. Walking into the dojo for the first time made me question if I was really still in New Jersey. Additionally the facility has a bathroom and a water cooler for anyone to use. Sensei is nice, welcoming and very insightful. Sensei was egger to help his students and has so much passion for Aikido. If you are looking to learn how to be a fighter this dojo is probably not the best fit. However, if you are looking for a peaceful traditional marshal art I would strongly recommend checking out this dojo, I can not stress how nice and welcoming they are here.”

“I attend this church and it is definitely the best church I've ever been to. The people are friendly and you just feel welcome. The pastoral staff is very nice as well. I highly recommend any of the Bethany church campuses.”

“My wife grew up in the Catskills. Her family attended an orthodox Shul. My parents never even considered joining a Synagogue. I had a private Rabbi Tutor come to my house for Bar Mitzvah prep. Temple Beth Rishon,was a warm and welcoming non judgmental Synagogue for my wife and our three children from the very first visit 27yrs ago. My children were very well prepared for their B’nei Mitzvah and they were drawn to the B’nei Mitzvah prep tutor, Judy Ackerman who still teaches the students as if they were her first class. Her patience and kindness honed as a career public school teacher is unsurpassed. I felt so encouraged to attend services while knowing little, participating inmy three kids lifecycle events, attended seminars and Melton adult ed for two full years and eventually being part of a six female and one male Adult B’nei Mitzvah class because I wanted to make up for something I never knew I was missing. I am still friends with those classmates and many of us continue to this day on lay leadership committees and BOT.The sanctuary is amazingly beautiful and the current clergy, Rabbi Waxman and Cantor Dubin are terrific Bimah partners. Their ability to teach and their commitment to pastoral care is exceptional. I highly recommend this community because of the blessings I have received thru the personal connections my family has made. Trust my words. You too will feel grateful to be part of TBR.”

“We love the Nursery School! My son attended for three years and I'm so happy to have my daughter now having the same experience. The staff are beyond warm and loving. They truly love my kids and are so experienced! I'm a teacher in a PK-3rd school so I'm thrilled to see what they're doing. There's not a fancy or modern facility, but that is PERFECT for what little kids need. An enriching, social, play-based, wholesome curriculum with exposure to Jewish holidays. My daughter comes home singing songs and talking about her experiences every day, and naming her new friends is just the best. The families I met are all so kind as well, especially that I don't live in Glen Rock so it's nice to meet new people. I can't say enough good things about the GRJC Nursery School.”
