Welcome to TEMPLE of ISRAEL in Wilmington, NC
We are a congregation that supports a wide range of programs and activities for members of all ages.
We want to build a community based on inclusiveness, where everyone is welcome, regardless of age, marital status, sexual orientation, a Jew by birth or by choice.
At Temple of Israel (TOI) we strive to provide a meaningful and fulfilling environment for worship, education and social interaction, following the principles and values of Reform Judaism, including commitment to God, Torah and Israel; and to enhance the lives of our congregants and our community.
As an inspiring center for Reform Judaism, TOI will provide meaningful experiences, where memories will take root and grow, while honoring the past and building for the future.
TOI aims to be a warm, welcoming, multi-generational and inclusive congregation, financially sound, with a committed and growing membership base and religious school.
TOI will be the focal point in our community for Reform Jewish worship, education, social interaction and Tikkun Olam.

Join Us For Shabbat Services
There were many highlights for Haman’s Last Hoedown, a country western Purim celebration held at the Reibman Center.
The TOI cast presented a Purim Shpiel written by Linda Liss-Bronstein and Myrna Cohen with lyrics by Eileen Rothberg, complete with audience participation in a line-dance. Following the shpiel Scott Gales, a wonderful country western performer, sang our favorite songs as the dancing and celebrating continued.
Thanks to the social committee led by Robi Lorio and Myrna Cronen along with Linda Bronstein and Sharon Levy.
Pictured above are cast members Rabbi Emily, Dahlya Shook, Ron Rothberg, Linda Liss-Bronstein, Sam Brody, Eileen Rothberg, Michael Grissom, Myrna Cronen and Sharon Levy with Social Committee Chairperson Robi Lorio. Cast members not pictured are Ruben Ostrov and Andy Bronstein.
