Holidays & Celebrations

  • Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur: See the calendar for our schedule of services. There is a brunch on the second day of Rosh Hashanah following the service. Yom Kippur worship is followed by the break-the-fast pot luck dinner. Temple Israel appreciates and welcomes the presence and support of those who join us to welcome the New Year. Information on a special donation to the congregation for those who are not yet members of Temple Israel who attend our High Holy Day services can be found elsewhere on this website.
  • Sukkot: Sukkah decorating, service for all ages on the first night and special prayers on the Shabbat during Sukkot.
  • Simchat Torah: Our services features a “Torah roll-unroll” of the books of Deuteronomy and Genesis and singing as we carry the Torahs around the sanctuary!
  • Jewish Book Month: Look for information about our annual book fair on the calendar and in the Kesher newsletter!
  • Hanukkah Latke Party: a fun and tasty party where we sing Chanukah songs, make latkes & jelly donuts while children & adults take part in holiday games and activities.
  • Tu Bish’vat Seder: Congregants of all ages can join our Religious School for our Tu Bish’vat Seder held on the Wednesday closest to Tu Bish’vat.
  • Purim: We do a brief Megillah Reading (wear a costume if you like) and hold a Purim Carnival including games and crafts during the Religious School session closest to Purim. There is also a study or social program held on the eve or day of Purim.
  • Passover Seder: So many of us living far away from family find comfort and joy in the Temple’s own Seder led by the Rabbi. Good food & friends join together to celebrate this special holiday in the Temple’s social hall. This is typically a catered event. No cooking required!
  • Shavuot: We join together for a musical service and a festive holiday Oneg!
