Pittsburgh Area Jewish Committee Reviews

Amazing place. Beautiful inside and beautiful outside

Went here for a wedding. The building is beautiful and the people welcoming.

People there are so nice, they don't make you feel out of place. Enjoyed myself there.

I don't know anything about this congregation other than they support UPMC Children's Hospital transplant patient camp. Specifically, they host the drop off and pickup for a few bus loads of campers and counselors. This year, they also hosted a brunch and presentation from CHP on the camp. This 'transplant camp' means a ton to the children and their families, this post is not doing justice, so I'd have a difficult time not giving 5 stars to anyone who supports it.

Wonderful congregation, especially for interfaith families! Since moving to Pittsburgh, my Catholic husband and I immediately felt at-home at Rodef Shalom. The rabbis are approachable and foster a socially-conscious community. Services are always enjoyable, and there are a wide variety of congregation events. The cantor is incredible, too! Membership options are quite flexible, and provide a range of benefits.

I hosted my wedding reception here and it was exceptional. Even though my wife and I are not Jewish we were able to rent the event space. The customer service was very friendly and responsive. They allowed using outside catering and/or providing your own bar. The price was very fair. The event space could accommodate a lot of people. Free parking is available which is awesome for Oakland. I would highly recommend it for a wedding or reception.

The Bach Choir of Pittsburgh rehearses here and I am in the choir. This is an exquisite venue and the staff is always friendly.

went to the Biblical Gardens with a group
It was wonderful. Truly it is a different climate in there. We learned so much and it was just i spiring to see so many species from the Torah. Loved it. Also, very beautiful synagogue.

OUTrageous Bingo. One Saturday a month. Loads of fun for all.

Beautiful synagogue & reception area. Very beautiful stained glass. Nice parking but not a large lot. Gorgeous neighborhood of surrounding homes

Reform services in a gorgeous sanctuary designed by Henry Hornbostle. National Historic Register, friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely beautiful! Nice gift shop inside and everyone was very nice.

I went here for the going back to school thing it's was nice to see all the different cultures of people

I love coming here for OUTrageous BINGO... it is so much fun and amazing that the synagogue let's them do it in their hall

Beautiful church! Loving and welcoming people there!

Great space for rent with corporate events. Beautiful space, large parking facility, and accommodating staff.

Had a graduation here it was nice. Layout is a bit confusing but its nice.

My elderly parents, - who love religious structures and architecture - were visiting from Michigan so I surprised them with a trip to Rodef. Everything was fine until a woman with glasses came barreling behind us and began shouting, "Move! Get out of my way." Horrified, my parents and I turned around to face her. "Get out of here," she said. Too shocked to even ask for an explanation, we began walking toward the door with this menacing middle-aged woman right behind us. I stole a single glance back at her and she looked like she was grimacing in pain, perhaps a knee or hip problem ailment because she limped, or kinda shuffled. As we opened the door, a man shouted from the back, "Christen , what is the hollering." Rather than make a stink, we opened the door to leave and then I smelled it. My mother and I look at each then looked at this woman who was ghost white. She turned very slowly to walk back toward the man and then we saw it. It explained the rush and the hurried escort to the exit. She had moved her bowels in her pants.

There is a wonderful gallery of historical items well worth your time.

Such a warm and welcoming place! Beautiful space to gather and celebrate in.

I was there for outrageous bingo. The hall was beautful and huge.

I've played Outrageous Bingo here twice now. It's a really pretty venue and it's nice to see the fantastic artwork on the walls.

Beautiful building, lovely people and accepting. Was attending OUTrageous bingo and had a great time.

I nanny a child in the preschool there, and have attended some memorials. They have been amazingly welcoming and warm. They always have stickers in the gift shop for the children, and I never walked in without being given a genuinely joyful smile.

Outrageous bingo was so much fun! Beautiful synagogue!

An extremely welcoming community as well as a breathtaking & fully handicap accessible event venue. I don t know of a religious community that s kinder.

Empty Bowls event is well worth going to. Not to mention the architecture in the synagogue is gorgeous.

Very nice place. Not too orthodox. Had my bad mitzvah there. Everyone is very excepting of everyone. Very beautiful sanctuary. Nice teachers. Hey morah Molly! Very laid back
Would recommend.

Beautiful synagogue. Personnel was very friendly and helpful.

They throw an event for children every year to help them with back to school items. The kids get to pick an BRAND NEW outfit and shoes winter coat bookbag etc. All donated from retailers in our community. Pretty awesome

What a beautiful and peaceful place. I enjoyed my visit. All are welcome to come for study and fellowship. They have security which you have to respect. This is not to scare away their neighbors, but the opposite: to provide a safe and wonderful space on a noisy world.

A warm and welcoming place of worship for all jews.

I helped build the kids a new playground. I'm Catholic, I didn't get a chance to go inside the temple...

HARRISONS are members since fifth avenue downtown !

Beautiful place with nice events. Rodef Shalom has a cute little gift shop with friendly cashiers.

Beautiful garden. Wonderful people, Worth visiting.

Attended a Vocal Confluence concert. The auditorium was clean, well lighted, has comfortable seating and acoustically sufficient.

Spiritual, Beautiful, Historic and an Area Free From Hate!!

They offer many excellent programs. Beautiful historic space.
