Israel Trip 2026
Israel Through the Eyes of Klal Yisrael
February/March 2026
Invest in Israel
As we enter the High Holy Days, we must remember our values as individuals, as a community, and as a people. As Americans, and members of the Jewish community, we believe that supporting Israel Bonds’ mission to secure the future of the Jewish State is one of our core values. We cannot choose the times we live in, but we have the power to choose how we respond. Our values call on us to speak up and turn words into action.
Gifts of the Heart
At Temple Israel, we believe everyone has something special to give — a talent, a passion, an interest, or simply time. This “Gifts of the Heart Survey” helps us connect you with opportunities that bring joy to you and strengthen our community. Please fill out as much as you like. There are no wrong answers!
Nosh Squad
Temple Israel is looking for people to assist with preparation and set-ups for programming at the building.
If you have some time and interest, we'd appreciate your help. Tell us about yourself and we'll assemble our inaugural Nosh Squad.
Jewish Dilemmas
Register now for 7-session adult education course led by Rabbi David Komerofsky, exploring the essential tensions at the heart of Jewish life, belief, and identity. We will dive into a core “Jewish dilemma” — a pair of ideas that may seem in conflict but together shape the richness and complexity of Jewish thought and experience.
Wednesday evening classes begin in September.
