Mission Statement

Temple Israel is a welcoming center of Jewish life where members, newcomers and visitors of all ages and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to participate in Jewish practices, spirituality, learning and culture. We continually strengthen our connections to each other and join together to care for the greater community, Israel, and the world.



In order to achieve this vision we are guided by these four supporting principles:

Diversity
We value the diversity that makes up our congregation.

Openness

We are open to change and seek ways to learn and grow.

Exploration

We create space for people to explore alternative expressions of Jewish life that are rooted in our history.

Commitment

We are committed to exploring and celebrating Judaism.
