Things You'll Need:
- Contact with your local Jewish Federation
-
Step 1
Contact your local Jewish Federation and obtain a listing of the synagogues in your area.
-
Step 2
Talk with friends or relatives to find out about their experiences with the synagogues they attend in your area.
-
Step 3
Check out the websites of the congregations that were suggested to find out whether you'd feel comfortable there. Some things to consider are:
1. Size of the congregation
2. Denomination
3. Accepting of gays and lesbians if this is important to you.
4. Is there a good mix of couples and singles so that you don't feel like the only single person?
5. Cost of the tickets (some congregations may offer a low cost tickets to someone who might consider joining later). -
Step 4
Attend a few of the congregations you've looked at on the web and attend them this summer so you can get a flavor for what style most appeals to you.
