What do you get at DN that you feel you cannot get at any other synagogue in the Twin Cities (Board) A serious committed and undogmatic approach to halachic Judaism An open and inclusive community; one committed to halacha and traditional ritual yet open to intellectual engagement within Judaism and embracing modernity. Sense of community, showing the greater Jewish community what modern orthodox is all about It’s like one large family Intimate community; religious Zionism; intellectual community; simplicity in davening and organizational structure—things get done True orthodoxy in a modern congregation A kehilla engaged with halacha and the diverse entities of the Jewish community combined with a concern fo4r the community at large Commitment to modern orthodoxy Small and warm The small size is so important An intimate sense of community that also has good learning going on Lack of politics Feel connected to other members and out community. The small community, the beautiful singing and different people leading, so its not always the same songs. The warmth and the help when someone is sick or a death Modern orthodoxy! Participation and friendship with like-minded people Modern orthodox A congregation of Jews that are serious about their faith and religion yet modern and open enough to engage in secular society. I enjoy the open-mindedness of the congregants and an constantly impressed with the balance many are able to strike between being religious and modern at the same time A great caring community Modern orthodoxy and people who either epitomize or desire it Small, family-like atmosphere Tradition without abdication of reason I feel very close to whomever is davening. We hear very interesting divrei torah, we have had some very good study sessions, I am pretty much proud of everything that goes on at DN. I have had opportunities to do things I might not have done otherwise Modern orthodoxy with support for Israeli Orthodoxy with an openness to society in general. We are not as separated from the larger community as most other orthodox synagogues I’ve been to Modern open pluralistic Zionistic orthodox A sense that everyone’s participation is valued and important combined with a commitment to true modern orthodoxy—living lives of torah observance and study while fully engaging in the best of the secular world Sense of close=knit community, a community where both Jewish and secular education are valued. Where members receive support to live a professionally successful .life with a commitment to observing halacha. It is also a community where members truly care about each other A warm committed caring community. I love the tight knittedness of the shul necessitated by our small quarters, and hope we can carry this over to larger spaces I feel comfortable with the people at DN. They are committed to having good educations both in secular and Jewsih studies, they are involved in the outside world and also have a love for Judaism and Zionism The religious center matches my own inclinations Divrei torah by educated and knowledgeable lay people An orthodox shul that is welcoming to all, despite personal practices…a shul that cares about each other and others in the larger Jewish community Modern orthodox congregation—warm, welcoming environment A more balanced view of the roles of Judaism in the secular world Traditional practice with open religious inquiry Warmth, intimacy/ easy friendship/hospitality Comfort of my type of observance A sense of inclusion in the services and community; DN takes the extra step to listen to each congregant, understand their strengths and take into account their opinion Ruach in davening Intellectual conversation and learning Feeling of being part of a community, sons tent with my religious philosophy, desire to learn, diverei torah delivered by male and female members The feeling of inclusion of everyone; I sense that DN welcomes anyone and is the least likely to be judgemental of any of the shuls The ability to participate in the services on all levels (davening, layning, giving dvrei torah). Those are things one cannot do/won’t be asked to do in any of the other orthodox shuls A true connection, an intimate environment wonderful ruach and sense of community Modern orthodoxy, deep commitment to Torah Judaism, while embracing the beauty of the secular world Inclusion of women in a traditional setting. Religious Zionism Shared values Observant members with liberal attitudes with respect to both Jewish practice and more broad societal issues
