I would like to convey my support for Israel. My prayers are with you and your community, as well as with the people of Israel. May God bless you and hold you near to Him. Rosemary St-Yves

Shalom and greetings to everybody in Moncton.I was just surfing the web aimlessly when I ended up on your site.The shul looks gorgeous inside and out.What really caught my attention was the sauna.Believe me,I have seen hundreds of synagogues all over the world and Tifereth Israel in Moncton was the first I have ever seen with a sauna.If I am ever in your part of the world my first stop shall be your beautiful synagogue.

I look forward to visiting in September. Anna Serapins PEI JC Representative

Third (and final!) try - your website keeps kicking back the message "wrong code entered" even though I've typed in the given sequence. To the congregation: saw your lovely shul from the outside on this rainy day in Moncton. We are vacationing from Boston, Ma. Also read about your community on the website. Question: who was Rabbi Lippa Medjuk? not mentioned in your history. To Rabbi Yagod: a hearty Yashar Koach to a real Yid who has apparently devoted himself to the cause of keeping these communities going. I myself grew up in a small remote Jewish farming community, Vineland, New Jersey, child of Holocaust survivors who came there in the early 1950's. In Vineland there was a retired Rabbi and his wife, Emil Schorsch (father to Ismar Schorsch, eventual chancellor of JTS). I believe Rabbi Emil Schorsch had held a post in Easton-Bethelehem. Do you know anything of this? Also you no doubt have Boston connections via the Vaad and Beit Din. Rabbi Halbfinger is a close personal friend and I attended his shul for several years when I lived in Brighton, Ma. On this trip my wife & I visited the Shaar Shalom synagogue in Halifax whose first rabbi was my wife's uncle, Rabbi David Jacobs, who eventually moved to Quincy, Massachusetts where he was rabbi for 50 years until his death in 2008. In 1981 my wife and I were married with both Rabbi Jacobs and Rabbi Halbfinger officiating. We wish you, your Rebbetzin and your entire family Hatzlacha in your important work! Hope this message reaches you (third try!)

Thank you so much for allowing me to take part in Shacharit. I felt so much hospitality and appreciate the opportunity a great deal. I truly hope to join you again.

Good Year to all members of Tiferes Israel. Once again, my husband and I had the good fortune to spend the High Holy Days at the Tiferes Israel Synagogue. We are made to feel very welcome by all the extremely lovely people we meet there. We really enjoy the services and davening in your beautiful shul. It is also a pleasure to meet and hear Michael Ruben. Thank you for a good yentif.

I'm originally from Moncton but moved away to Saint John when I got married, and now I live in Miramichi. I really enjoyed looking around your website, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to visit your synagogue once in a while, when I'm in town visiting my sons.
