My family and I have been blessed to be members of the Garden City Jewish Center for over 30 years. We love the warmth of the congregation and rabbi and look forward to many more years of being a part of the temple.

We have been members for many years. Always enjoy going there. Great welcoming and caring community, interesting people, great Rabbi.

GCJC is the friendliest temple environment I’ve ever seen. All families are made to feel welcomed and appreciated. Plus a rabbi with a great sense of humor!

We joined the GCJC about 18 years ago and feel the same way now as we did then. The temple is warm and inviting, everyone is made to feel like they belong and the Rabbi is the best!

The congregation is small, friendly, and welcoming. It accepts everybody as they are, at their level of comfort. Also has a Sunday School that kids actually want to go to.

I grew up in this warm egalitarian temple and now live 120 miles away, too far to attend Shabbat services each week, but close enough to my heart to always keep my membership. The congregation cares, the religious school is welcoming, the building is beautiful, and the rabbi is a truly special leader.

It is a pleasure to be part of such a welcoming community. Wonderful Rabbi who keeps everybody engaged.

What an unbelievable place . Intimate , warm and inviting for all . My children love attending Hebrew school as the entire teaching staff are amazing . The Rabbi is one of a kind !!!!

When my husband and I joined the GCJC 33 years ago, we did not know what a caring community the temple was. How fortunate we are to be part of this wonderful congregation. In times of joy, in times of sorrow, and in every other aspect, the GCJC has been part of our extended family. We are so grateful to Rabbi Goodman who has been our prayer leader, our teacher, our mentor, our solace and most importantly, our friend. We look forward to spending many more years at the GCJC.

Welcoming community, warm and friendly. Progressive values, and exceptionally great rabbi.
