Dear Friend,

We would be thrilled if you would consider joining our Temple Beth Israel family in the coming year.

Do you have a place you can voice your questions and share your greatest hopes and fears? Do you have a community that values your very presence and where your experiences, opinions, and contributions are welcomed and valued? Temple Beth Israel is a community where members are appreciated for their unique souls and personalities. We are a place where you are able to express your Jewish soul in multiple ways through:

Tefillah (prayer) and Torah Learning: Our rabbi, cantor, and lay leaders share in leading our traditional services and in teaching Torah on Shabbat, at daily minyan, and throughout the year.

Music and Dance – We a music-filled shul with a special passion for Klezmer and Yiddish music and dance. In the past year, Hankus Netsky – member and world renowned musician, scholar, and teacher – presented two concerts with extraordinary musicians and vocalists. We had a Klezmer-music filled Children’s Hanukkah party and an afternoon of Yiddish Dance accompanied by live music.

Culture and History – We have had discussions and lectures on topics ranging from the Book of Psalms to Jews in the Civil War.

Sharing Meals – Our breakfasts, that follow daily minyan, create a time to check in with friends before starting the day, and our weekly Shabbat lunches continue to strengthen our community. Home-cooked monthly Friday night dinners and Tu B’Shevat and Pesach seders show our appreciation for tasty, healthful, and diverse food experiences.

We want to extend an invitation to you for one of our Third Friday dinners – if you are considering joining, please come as our guest for the evening. Or come to a Shabbat morning service and meet our rabbi and members. You will be most warmly welcomed.

How to Join – Please complete the membership and payment form and return it to the Temple office.
