Adult Engagement

“Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.” Abraham Joshua Heschel

At Temple Israel there are so many opportunities to engage and to explore your own holiness. Whether you seek the opportunity to further your studies of our traditions in the Men’s Group, or build your social connections while providing financial support for the Temple with the Sisterhood, opportunities for engagement abound. Want to turn your desire for a better world into action, join the Social Action group, or be present for those in need through our Caring Community. We welcome you into our community, where your presence is a blessing.

Engagement Opportunities

Sisterhood

Sisterhood is open to all women – the young and the young at heart. Each of us shares the desire to give back to our community and support our Temple. We work together, having fun while making new and lasting friendships. We would love to have you join us.

Men's Group

The men in this group gather just to be together. We study, discuss, okay maybe sometimes argue, build Sukkahs, and help our community come together to honor those who perished in the Shoah. We gather as an informal group because we like each other and welcome you to join us.

Social Action

Guided by the principles of Tikkun Olam, the Social Action Committee puts into action what the Torah teaches. From helping the local Homeless Assistance Fund, to partnering with Habitat for Humanity and working with other local organizations to participate in the Annual Make a Difference Day, the members of this committee organize the power of group action to honor our collective commitment to heal the world.

Caring Community

Our Caring Community’s sole purpose is to be of service during a Temple member’s loss of a loved one. The volunteers who participate in this committee’s sacred work are truly performing deeds of loving-kindness. If you feel called to be of service, you are most welcome to join this group of dedicated volunteers.
