Children having fun in the Temple Shalom Preschool

Founded in 1962, Temple Shalom provides a meeting place, a sacred space for worship, and an educational and social resource for Jews of all ages. Our congregants represent the great diversity of the Jewish population, and find a sense of identity, attachment, and family through Temple membership.

Relational Judaism, implemented as One Family at Temple Shalom, Four members volunteering with Meals of Hope in the Multipurpose Room with mitzvah day hats on. is at the heart of all we do. At Temple Shalom, we have nurtured a culture based on relationships between members, Temple, Torah and God. From the first time we welcome you to Temple Shalom, through the years of being part of our Temple family, we want you to feel that belonging is about so much more than a financial commitment. Our community is engaged and committed to building a religious home in which the connection between Temple and congregant is centered on your needs and what is important to you. Each of us is on our own, unique Jewish journey, but can go so much further when we support each other along the way.
