Testimonials

  • “Thank you for knowing the right thing to say at the right time. I admire your ability to expose me to new things without pushing me. Without you I never would have taken an interest in Judaism again or even studied Hebrew.”

    -Alex

  • “I want to extend our family’s deepest gratitude to you regarding Seth’s Bar Mitzvah in Israel. This was a very important event for our family…We want you to know how thankful we are.”

    -Miriam

  • “My husband and I want to thank you for all the encouragement and guidance you offered our granddaughter in becoming a Bat Mitzvah. It was a deeply moving experience for our family.”

    -Judy

  • “You have helped me learn and grow so much in this past year. I would not have achieved this goal [becoming an adult Bat Mitzvah] without your patient teaching and encouragement!”

    -Becca

  • “Not only did Rabbi Lyle thoughtfully and meaningfully guide both our children through all their Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation, but supported their leading for one of the most momentous occasions in their lives. Rabbi Lyle is forever part of our family”

    - Jen and Brian

  • “It has been nearly two months since you delivered the eulogy for my mother and your words are still in my mind. Even though you based your eulogy on what my brother and I told you, I believe that you truly grasped her essence.”

    -Mark

  • “If someone would have told me that my mother's angel would have been a Rabbi, I would have told them they were crazy (though it would make a terrific children's book). I am sure that your ears have been ringing because we have told everyone from the family and friends to the priest about you. There are no words to thank you for what you did for our family and my mom.”

    -Allison

  • “Since my mother’s death, Rabbi Rothman has been in regular contact with our family and has been a great comfort to us. He is to be commended for his compassion, sincerity and maturity in assisting not only patients, but family as well. Although we are not of the Jewish faith, he connected with our family and truly helped us get through the most difficult period in our lives. I am confident that he will continue his ministry in the same manner that he currently practices. The Chaplaincy Office should be commended as a result of Rabbi Rothman’s service to your staff.”
