Best Yeshiva Cambridge Near Me

Zoe Gompers: Harvard Chabad is one of the most warm and inviting places in all of Cambridge. They provide a home away from home, consistently make you feel cared for, and create a welcoming space for all undergrads, grads, and Cambridge residents alike.

Michael Oved: The Harvard Chabad, led by Rabbi Zarchi and his wife Elkie, is such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all Harvard students and community members. They offer delicious foods, fun events, and opportunities to connect and interact more with the Jewish community at Harvard and beyond.

jonathan Katzman: Chabad is the most welcoming place in Harvard Square. Chabad hosts nice services and delicious meals on Shabbat and holidays. Chabad also plans many events for undergrads, grad students, and community members. I highly recommend coming to Chabad if you are looking for Jewish community and spiritual connection in Cambridge!

Sara T Kaplan: If I could give Harvard Chabad more than 5 stars I would. It is a warm, fun, and wonderful place to be. We have always felt welcome by the Rabbi, Rebeztin and their family and going to Chabad on Shabbat (and sometimes we get lucky enough to go more often) is always the highlight of our week.We are forever grateful.

Ashira Gendelman: Warm, welcoming, and kind. Always a pleasure to visit, with truly exceptional events for all (young professionals, families, students). Sincerely grateful to have this gem in our neighborhood!

J B: This Chabad hosts Chinese dinners on Tuesday night. What they fail to mention on their website is that (unlike the Harvard Hillel) their events are for Harvard undergrads only. So having just moved to the area, I made an honest mistake and came to the event thinking that there would be Mincha/Maariv afterwards. I have no issue with the fact that their events are mostly for undergrads only. What I found completely inappropriate was how “Rabbi” Zarchi handled the situation.As I’m sitting at the table talking to some undergrads, he pulls me aside and says that I have to sit away from the undergrads because someone complained that they are uncomfortable by my presence. Ok I’m fine with that. (BTW I don’t believe his claim that someone complained since I was having a very nice conversation with the undergrads.)So I move, and as I am about to sit down somewhere else, the Rabbi motions to me as if to say “Come, sit here with me.” I smile and motion that it’s ok, I’ll sit with some other people who look my age. He then comes over to me and tells me that I have to leave. He proceeded to berate me for giving him “a nasty look” and accused me of not listening to him. I believe that there may have been a miscommunication. I thought he just meant that I had to move away from the undergrads, not sit in the EXACT seat he motioned to. (Reminder that I thought his motion was just an invite to come sit near him, which I clearly misunderstood). However, I’m not sure what about my smile and wave said to him that I’m giving him a “nasty” look and ignoring him.It would have been far more appropriate for him to wait until I was done talking with other people and quietly inform me that future events are only for undergrads. Instead he had to embarrass and berate me.I have been to over 20 Chabads around the world; never have I felt so unwelcomed. I have never met such a hostile, cold Chabad Rabbi before.I would advise all non-undergrads to stay far away from this place and come to Harvard Hillel where everyone is more than welcomed and treated with dignity.

Hananel H: Great shabbat experience. Feel like home.

Joe Bisk: So welcoming and friendly

Seb Marc: We are harvard students living in the neighborhood but experienced unkindness here. Maybe a welcoming community for the rich but not for the rest.

haim goidel: הקהילה הרב והרבנית מכניסי אורחים מתעניינים ומקרבים ממש עושה טוב שיש יהודים טובים .

Spencer Markowitz: Warm family and great events. If you're looking to meet people in the area, this is a great place to do so.

Claire Ellen Ginsburg: Good experience

Gavriel Goidel: It's all about the hosts

Reb Mendel: Even though stuff are so stressful and busy they still find time to address most of the people who come

Scott Finkelstein: It's Chabad. You know what to expect.

a Google user: Awesome

PATOU MEZE: For the holidays we experienced Unkindness and arrogance. That's not what chabad stands for. A total disappointment.

Google CH770: Amazing experience

Scott Semel: Friendly atmosphere for davening, welcoming and kind. Contact the rabbi ahead of time to let him know you plan to attend services.

James U: The providers I saw at Mt Auburn were all great. The billing office here, though is a total nightmare and why I will avoid this place from now on. I have had two separate issues, including one related to how a visit was coded that I went back and forth with the billing office about for 9 months. Part of the problem is that the people you talk to on the phone are not the people who actually review the coding issues, so I have never been able to get a clear answer about why my coding issue was not being resolved. Last I heard, my bill was being sent back to be reviewed by the coding people yet again, and I was told not to pay the bill in the meantime. Then today I got a letter from a collections agency for the bill, which to my knowledge was still under review! I’m so frustrated by this whole thing, I'll probably pay the bill which wasn’t that much anyway just so that I don’t have to deal with this hospital's billing office ever again.

Aly Eve Remmos: I've had both good and bad experiences here. I've always been treated very well for physical illness and delivering my son was great. However on the flip side I've gone to the emergency department for psychiatric reasons multiple times and that hasn't been as great. Understandable during covid when already stretched thin AND having to deal with me having a meltdown. Luckily it was only that one time a nurse was horrible to me (she was shockingly mean). Otherwise psych there is psych and it's never a pleasant experience.

Italo Brilhante: The wonderful place where my son was born , all employees were amazing 🤩 very professional. 1st world in quality and professionalism. Say hi to Bryan Brilhante 😍

Areeba Saeed: Pathetic service. I came to the ER with Covid distress, and they had no system to let the patient know about service time/delays etc. I sat there by the front door for hours, without any update on my status. If you go to the ER, expect to be in the waiting room for a min 3-4 hours, if not more.

Thomas Wheeler: Recently my youngest son was admitted to the ICU at Mt Auburn Hospital. I can only speak to that unit and the staff working there as it was the only part of the hospital I dealt with. Being from out of state, we were guided every step of the way by a social worker, the doctors, nurses and the organ transplant coordinators. Although it was a terrible personal loss for our family, everyone we dealt with could not have been nicer or more considerate during a time when we could barely think for ourselves we had so much support keeping us informed and truly felt they each cared for my son and our entire family.

Rosa Lopez: I gave birth to my son here and it was an absolute nightmare. Trying to recover from a C-section was near to impossible. Construction work was happening in the room near ours. Heavy pounding throughout my stay startled not only me but my little one. It was impossible to sleep or recover. We kindly requested a different room and had to deal with retaliatory nurses. The nurses were horrible. Rough with my baby and inconsiderate.Educate yourself and get an doula or an advocate of some sort to accompany you during your birthing experience. Nurses are nothing less than bullies who want insurance money.

Scooter McGavin: Despite the work they do, a lot of the nurses are rude except for the very few who are actually nice and helpful. Otherwise I don't approve of the practice that they use. They give horrible attitudes they don't give you all the information you need. We had our mother in there and they couldn't even tell us where she went. Even though I was a proxy. They lie and they don't treat their patients with care.

debra lister: Mount Auburn Hospital is a training hospital for HARVARD Medical and hold the highest standards for all staff. They are the most pleasant and compassionate staff I have experienced with high standards thru my cancer treatments. They make my Oncology and Radiation sessions bearable.🤗

jonas Patrolia: They took such good care of me when I came in, genuinely a great experience in a bad spot

Winifred Gardner: The nurses were angels from God but they played around a lot didn’t want to do any tricks to me but most of it is in the van I guess but I love it at Mt.Aburn hospital I’ll be back soon

Weiwei Zhang: I just came back home today and really wanted to show my deep gratitude to all of the nurses and doctors in MAH who have helped us welcome our baby girl! Particularly the nurse in postpartum center Kelly whose kindness and meticulous care made us feel at home! Thank you guys so so so much!

Robert White: Wonderful

Maya Townsend: We had a horrible experience this morning. We both have covid. There was no one doing triage or intake. We were asked to sit in the waiting room, where we stayed coughing and sneezing for over 2 hours. Finally someone walking by asked if I had covid and, when I said yes, told me that I couldn't be there. It would have been safer for all involved (patients, staff, etc.) if we had been quarantined. I can't believe a hospital would handle contagion this way. I also can't believe someone with covid would be asked to wait over 2 hours without talking to a nurse. (It wasn't a busy morning. There were only 2 others waiting.)

Vincent Bonasso: This was an enjoyable experience for me and my family. Dr. Connelly was a joy and the new CEO personally made sure our time was great! I will definitely be back!

Belmont Mom: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐FIVE big stars for DR. DANIEL BOURQUE for saving a life.Everyone else around him is a primitive, they gambled for almost a week up until Dr. BOURQUE showed up.

aaron M: I have been to this hospital multiple times in the ER. Everysingle time, you will be waiting for atleast 2 to 3 hours just to get the treatment you need for your EMERGENCY!!! This is absolutely ridiculous, worst hospital i have ever been to .

James D Caldeira: Very nice hospital and staff, courtesy of the upmost! 👍

Daisy Hernandez: Rudest people to answer the phone, I was not finished talking and I was getting attitude from her and hung up the phone worst experience ever.

Mary fields: If I could give zero stars I would. I went into the ER at Mount Auburn at the recommendation of my pcp who thought I was having an issue with my gallbladder on Monday. They did tests on me and nothing came up. I was in severe pain and they basically pushed me out of the emergency room and told me to go home. As they read the discharge notes saying when to come back to the ER, I said to the nurse "but I'm feeling all of those" she told me they couldn't do anything about it and made me sign the release and leave. As I was leaving, hunched over in pain, the same nurse says very rudely "you missed the left turn" . I went to my pcp the next day, who told me I needed to go back to the emergency room. I went to newton Wellesley hospital. They told me they were very surprised they didn't see anything from the imaging on my gallbladder because it was very apparent. I had surgery Tuesday to remove my gallbladder. Mount Auburn gave horrible treatment, horrible staff: this place should be closed down. The worst experience I have ever had in a hospital.

R S: Second time here for a colonoscopy and had the worst experience ever. Only the anesthesiologist was pleasant. Was practically kicked out after being woken from anesthesia in less than five minutes. Love my primary who is associated with this hospital, but would warn others from this department. Never again.
