Video Streaming Testimonial

 

"I discovered your live streaming and archived videos while browsing on the web and I really love it.  We have been living in Israel for 30 years and for all those years I've missed the American Conservative synagogue experience. And lo and behold I've just found it one click away.  I have so far watched a Shabbat morning service, a Shabbat minha Bar Mitzvah, the annual congregational meeting and the lecture by Rabbi Irwin Kula. They were all extremely interesting and nostalgia inducing for me. As you may have guessed I'm retired.  
 
I'd like to commend the person or persons who thought of  the idea of taping it all and then implementing it.  I have already told friends about it and I hope they too will give it a try.  I do hope you will put on more talks and lectures as they take place in your congregation."
