Our tour of Beth Sholom was fantastic. Our guide, Helena, was so knowledgeable and charismatic. Truly made the history of the congregation and relationship between Rabbi Cohen and Frank Llyod Wright come to life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Don't miss this beautiful and educational exhibit by Marlene D'Orazio Adler "Prayer for Humanity" at Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel in Elkins Park, PA. It's a beautiful walk through Judaism and Spirituality through Marlene's insightful and talented artwork. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate the depth of her artistic talent. Try to go see it.

The Rink was built in 1949 and the Old York Road Skating Club was founded in 1956. When the Old York Road Skating Club began, it was an outdoor rink. Approximately 13 years after it was built, the rink was partially enclosed with three walls and a ‘star-lit’ roof. It is now a fully enclosed indoor rink and open yearly from August until April.
