Who We Are
Temple Israel founded in 1914 is a Reform Congregation affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism. Temple Israel is truly our House of Worship, Study and Gathering.
For over a century, our synagogue embodies the ritual warmth and ceremonial beauty of our Jewish tradition while serving as the center for worship, life-cycle celebration and events, education, social justice, and activities and gatherings for all ages. We are an inclusive and actively engaged community. We welcome singles and couples, interfaith couples and families, LGBTQ Jews and those seeking to convert to Judaism. Temple Israel values the diversity of Jewish expression and community.
We extend a warm invitation to join us for services on Shabbat.
Our new building campaign is in full swing!
With the research of our Building Task Force Team, our community is excited for this new chapter in Temple Israel’s 110 year history in Tulsa, OK.
