Jewish Religion Temple Beth Abraham is a conservative Temple. What that means is, it is for Jewish people that are serious about practicing, but not too serious. For example, most of the members of this congregation do not attend regularly. Rather they attend every now and then, but they still observe all Jewish holidays and come to Temple on these holidays. Unlike Orthodox Jews though, Conservative Jews might not all keep kosher or follow all the Jewish rules. But, they are all still practicing Jews. A regular Saturday Shabbat service starts at around 9 a.m. I arrived at Temple Beth Abraham at about 8:45 so I could observe what the lobby looked like and that I also could secure myself a seat in the sanctuary. The first thing that caught my eye when I walked into Temple was all the men dressing themselves properly to go in the Sanctuary for the service. It is a Jewish rule that all males wear yamakas, which is small head covering, and that all males that have been Bar Mitzvahed need to wear a talis around their neck, which is a scarf/-like article of clothing.
