Shalom and welcome to Temple Israel!

Here at Temple Israel, we take pride in our diverse congregation, which fosters an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect. Our services, led by Rabbi Karen Fanwick, blend tradition with contemporary elements, allowing for a worship experience that is both authentic and relevant to the lives we lead today.

Beyond our worship services, we offer a wide range of engaging activities and events that cater to various interests and age groups. There are ample opportunities for you to connect with others who share your values and interests.

We offer several programs, such as Bagels and Bible, Adult Education, Religious School offerings and social gatherings.

We understand that joining a new community can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but please know that you are not alone on this journey. Our welcoming committee and congregation members are here to support you every step of the way and ensure that your integration into our community is as smooth as possible.
