"It is never easy to move to a new community, leaving friends, family and everything familiar behind. Upon arriving in Baltimore we called Rabbi Kaplan and said we would like to "check out" the Shul. "Of course" said the Rabbi.. "please come and introduce yourselves .. I am the guy with the black hat and the beard." Before we even stepped foot in the Shul, we knew we picked the right place, and we were brought into the congregation with kindness and humor (and the BEST Cholent ever at Kiddush!)" - Liz Mayer
