We wanted to go to Beth Shalom. You may (or may not) recall that they had a hideously horrible fire about five years ago (give or take). Well, apparently in addition to membership fees, everyone is expected to make a donation to the building fund as well.
lilostitch was able to go to Temple Sinai, but then again, she's a student, and that can be enormously helpful when pleading broke.
My Grandmother had the family's copy of a book that was given out at B'nai Israel's 25th anniversary, in 1929. B'nai Israel is gone now, but, for my part, I plan to read its history of the Jews in the East End of Pittsburgh (and specifically Highland Park and East Liberty) tomorrow. It seems a moderately appropriate thing to do.
I was only able to go to temple sinai b/c i'm a student and they let students in for free :/ today, my friend sam has urged me to go to hillel....although the Reform service is being held in a 2nd floor lounge, complete with Television, Playstation, and pool table. A few years back Hillel used to hold services in the auditorium in Bellefield hall....they had to do a sort of "fusion" service for all denominations, but the setting was more appropriate than the lounge i'm sure you could show up to hillel today (service starts at 9:30 am), and they'd be happy to let you in. They don't ask for student ID or anything
