Mission
Statement
Temple Bnai Israel is a welcoming Reconstructionist Jewish community offering a spiritual, religious, intellectual, and social home for all Jews. We cherish a belief in one God, the Torah, prayer, and the music and beauty of our Jewish culture. We are commanded and committed to passing these blessings on to future generations.
We observe and celebrate Jewish traditions and laws while remaining open to changes that meet the needs of our time and will stand the test of time. As individuals and as a congregation, we intend to be a force for good and comfort. We offer justice, tolerance and charity within the Temple community, the larger Jewish community, and the non-Jewish worlds within which we live. Within the Temple, we are a true community of caring individuals.
Through
love, laughter, prayer, and caring deeds, we support one another through the
cycle of life.
Our
synagogue recognizes the equality of all Jews.
Jewish men and women, including those in interfaith marriages, are
entitled to
We believe in the ancient teaching: to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
