The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur includes liturgical readings that are only recited during these holiest days of the year. Shabbat Shuva is "the Sabbath of Return," where our return to Temple demonstrates our intent to answer the call of the shofar. This year we will have a religions class of about thirty students from Mayflower Congregational Church (UCC) visiting us to experience Jewish worship, accompanied by their senior minister Rev. Robin R. Meyers, PhD.

Temple B’nai Israel is a Beit Tefillah or House of Worship and all worship services are egalitarian.

Out of that commitment, women and men at Temple B’nai Israel are equally empowered to lead all services, and all adult members are counted in the minyan (prayer quorum). Our doors are open to all who seek to worship, learn and serve the community.

Services at  Temple B'nai Israel are a learning experience.  During the service members are encouraged to raise their hand if they have a question regarding the structure of the service, the meaning of a prayer, the interpretation of the Torah portion or a comment regarding the practice of Judaism. Our goal is to broaden the understanding of Judaism.  And through better understanding establish each individual’s relationship with G-d.  Join us to experience our interactive service.  Come learn with us.
