Temple Bnai Israel
What does that mean?
It means that we’re modern & we’re fun…and we hold a deep reverence for the traditions and teachings of the past. It means that we’re leaders in the Interfaith Community. It means that our commitment to Tikkun Olam and meaningful Social Action are at the core of who we are. It means that we’re open to all lifestyles.
And even though these are just of few of the things at the center of who we are as a community they all have one thing in common, one thing they lead to…

Sounding the Call: Stop the Plant, Save the Planet

On Rosh Hashanah, we blow the shofar in a call to action. Join us as we call out for Climate Justice in this beautiful outdoor space along the Quinebaug River near the proposed site of an unwelcome fracked gas plant. We’ll call for an end to the fracked gas plant, and for the passage of a Just, Green Recovery!
