Kerem Shalom is a vibrant Jewish community. I had to laugh when I read the poor Unilocal review posted in 2012. Although I feel that person really got it wrong, much has changed since then — we have a new rabbi, new programming, and lots of enthusiastic new members, adding to our already wonderful community. There is so much going on at Kerem Shalom, for adults and for families with young kids, and the atmosphere is welcoming and warm. and yes, it is very down to earth and there is still a lot of beautiful music.
