At Temple Israel, Jewish wisdom inspires us as we navigate and improve our ever-changing world. The vision of Temple Israel is to be a world leader of innovative Jewish community. The values we lead with at Temple are: Kedusha (Believing): Our beliefs and experience of the sacred evolve through individual reflection, meaningful ritual, and shared experience with our diverse community. Mah'ahsot (Acting): Our actions are influenced by a commitment to tzedakah, tradition, and openness to reinvention in our ongoing pursuit of justice. Kehillah (Belonging): Our sense of belonging is cultivated by participating in a committed, welcoming, and inclusive community that is there for each of us wherever we are on our journey and whenever we need it.
