YARHZEIT MEMORIAL CANDLE
Last Day to Order: May 21st

In light the world was created.  In light we mark the beginning and ending of the sacred time of Shabbat.  And in light we recognize the memory of those we love.

As she prepares to join the Jewish people, Tessa Cheek has created a very special fundraiser for Temple of Israel.  Her wonderful personalized yahrzeit candles are now available for purchase.  Because her candles are all made to order with details commemorating a specific friend or relative, only 50 candles are available to start. 

Thank you, Tessa, for bringing your light to our community in this special way. 

Please click HERE for the Order Form                 

Due to COVID-19, all Temple events are currently being held via Zoom. Please check your bulletin or Temple emails for the Zoom links. If you need a Zoom link or help, please contact the Temple Office at templeoffice@temple-of-israel.org.

What is Juneteenth to a Black Jew?

What is Juneteenth to a Black Jew? kbkaput June 10, 2021

Spirituality
Shot from the ground up of a group of Black men and women holding hands as if in friendship or support
While Juneteenth marks an incredibly important step in Black American rights, it was just that – one step. Juneteenth celebrated slavery becoming illegal, but it did not do away with racism; not even close. And yet, the history and spirit of Juneteenth make me hopeful.

The Ethical Conundrum of a Jewish and Democratic State

The Ethical Conundrum of a Jewish and Democratic State jstern June 8, 2021

Israel
When the State of Israel was established in 1948, its secular founders envisioned a nation that would be both Jewish and attuned to the values of liberal democracy. They were confident that a country with an overwhelming Jewish majority could maintain a Jewish character and ensure civic equality for all its inhabitants.

The film, produced by the USC Shoah Foundation, attempts to capture the recollections of an elderly subset of Germans who lived through the Third Reich and will soon no longer be around to give voice to what they witnessed.
