Temple Israel: Egalitarian Conservative Worship
Shabbat, Festivals and Holidays set the rhythm of spiritual life at Temple Israel. Our traditional egalitarian Conservative services integrate voices of all ages and backgrounds, and we encourage congregants to ascend the bimah to read Torah or chant haftarah, lead services and take on other ritual roles as their Jewish literacy and comfort permits. Rabbi Fine begins many services with “Muffins and Mishnah,” an informal lesson, accompanied by coffee and a light bite. He also leads lively, interactive discussions of the weekly Torah portion during services.
Temple Israel offers many programs for deepening connections with spirituality within community, like “Nosh ‘n Drash,” a lay-led learning breakfast on selected Shabbat mornings.
