Same old Song, different town

Shavuot was nice in Seward Park. I didn't make it through the night, but was able to study and get the essence of the holiday.

One thing that I have to harp on is the fact that very few Synagogues and Temples cater to single people, particularly working ones. What I saw recently on Facebook is a credit to one community and a black eye to another one. There is a synagogue on the West Coast that had a program designed for recent college grads and working professionals. This is the kind of thing that a lot more communities need. Single religious people don't necessarily feel comfortable at the larger synagogues with lots of families. There's only so much one has in common with the married guy with three kids, no matter how tight you were in high school or yeshiva.
I am deliberately withholding the name of the synagogue and the city because I feel it would reflect poorly on some other places that I have lived in , and don't wish to burn bridges. Just want to be constructive, not destructive, unless it's hardened criminals at Guantanamo Bay, where as my buddy Curtis Sliwa says, we should stick the juice in their caboose.
