We're looking to join an interfaith friendly congregation and also find someone to officiate. Any ideas?

I'm in Queens, he's in franklin square. We're willing to travel, but not so so far.

We are using Cantor Eric Shulmiller.

I am not sure if he does interfaith- but I would imagine he does. He is from a Reconstructionist temple-- which is even more laid back than reform.

Let me know if you want his number-- he is a really nice guy.

Depending on where you live in queens.
Free Synagogue of Flushing. Rabbi Agin.

Temple Emmanuel in New Hyde Park.

Hillcrest Temple ( I forgot the name )

There is also one in Little Neck which I heard is good. All reform. All good

Rabbi David Adelson, East End Temple. www.eastendtemple.org in Manhattan. REALLY nice, really young, small and warm place. Has an interfaith/intercultrual group (although the moderators just had a baby, so we haven't met recently). Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend a good Reform synagogue, but I can recommend a teriffic Reconstructionist one. Reconstructionism is somewhere between Reform and Conservative with regard to interpretation and tradition. However, they are the most egalitarian and 'all-inclusive.' My Rabbi happens to be gay. The place is called Reconstructionist Congregation Beth Emeth (RCBE) and it's in Hewlett--south shore.

Good luck!
