What People are Saying . . .
" 'Try to make the world a better place.' I learned it at CTI. Next to being healthy, it is definitely the best feeling ever!
So, I am grateful for the place I call home in my heart — CTI with its special Jewish practices, traditions and family I TREASURE whenever I spend time with them." – Beth LaBaw
"The CTI experience provides us with an opportunity to engage with our spiritually at our own pace and as we are most comfortable. Our Rabbi recently shared the importance of ensuring that all members are able to freely take part without ever being 'Jewbarrassed.' We are very honored to be part of CTI and appreciate the journey as we support our children in strengthening their connection to Judaism."
– Chad & Lauren Altman
"I feel close to your community there in Glen Cove again, and it has really been a blessing and a lighthouse in the pandemic storm to me to attend the services and participate. You do indeed, have a holy community." – Beth Singer Washington, DC
"We were looking for a communal home, which was not just about prayer and learning. It's about people connecting with people."
"Even though I was raised Reform, I discovered this Temple after being invited to a few very nice family programs that my child enjoyed. At one event, I began a conversation with the Cantor Gustavo Gitlin. A happy and engaging man who brings music and kindness to all that are lucky enough to meet him. At another family event, I met Rabbi Irwin Huberman, an approachable Rabbi who engages both children and adults in lively and thoughtful discussion. He connects people through conversation, music, community and spirituality. My family's experiences CTI have been wonderful. The Cantor taught my son to ride a bike, This is what religion should provide people with, wherever they are on their spiritual journey. CTI is a sanctuary."
– Daryl Katz
"CTI is an amazing community. It is welcoming to everyone. My favorite is the Friday night Kabbalah Shabbat services, that I can, again, be part of. Thank you Zoom. I now live in NC and continue to be a member of CTI. Rabbi and Cantor have always reached out to me, as if I was still there. And that is where my heart is." – Judy Rosalez
