  Friendly rabbi and welcoming atmosphere makes this little synagogue a breathe of fresh air in downtown

  Following weekday morning minyanim the synagogue provides a great breakfast, free. The Rabbi, Stan Savage is an excellent Torah reader who is especially tolerant of and kind to young children.

  I just called there to ask about services this Shabbos as I'll be staying in Pittsburgh for a conference. Rabbi S answered the phone and it was ruder to me than I can remember anyone ever being on the telephone. I was asking him to clarify the address of the shul, as I found two online, and he asked in an annoyed voice if I would be wriiiting to them -- after berating me for his own hearing problems and being generally annoyed to have to speak to me at all. I ended up telling him never mind, I didn't want to visit and hanging up. Which is probably what he was trying to accomplish. Maybe you will have a better experience than I did. Good luck.

  I recently called the center to request assistance in helping to find housing for young-Jewish leaders visiting Pittsburgh for a climate change conference and instead of receiving a supportive response the person who answered my call was unbelievably rude. I am ashamed that our Jewish community is so fractured we can't even take the time to politely support one another. This is not how our modern Jewish world should be.
