"Cbst ark clinic helps people in amazing ways. Working on repair the world"
"First time I came there for Friday Evening Service. The place is so beautiful and the community are so warm and accepting. Before the prayer they asked if anyone wants to say their name and when they’re coming from. So I said Hi My Name is Izzy and I’m from Israel. The Rabbi said Welcome Home. I felt home right away. I love this people. I love the community. I’ll come there many more times when I come to New York. Highly recommended! ❤️"
"I love this congregation very much, it seems beautiful to me that people can connect with their Judaism without discrimination for personal and intimate things in their lives, the Jewish people must be united, we do not get anything out of fighting anti-Simitism if we are hating each other for how each one lives with his Judaism in his own way, I wish there were more synagogues like this in the world, he is an example for everyone. Every person deserves respect, we are all Jews, never forget that. I look forward to visiting this synagogue with this beautiful congregation when I visit New York. Shalom"
"Rabbi Kleinbaum was there for me when my folks passed in late 1993. The synagogue gave my first aliyah Yom Kippur of 1994. Because of CBST's congregation I once again found the gift of services & community prayer. All here is the very best Judaism can offer."
"This synagogue is welcoming to all races and sexual orientations. It caters to the LGBT, They/Them, etc. I'm Pentecostal, Black, and Straight, but I go there occasionally to praise God with my child who converted to Judaism. It's a fun place, and you feel the love. We are all God's children. Also, the rabbi is a woman."
