Shalom & Welcome to Temple Israel!
Since 1914, Temple Israel has been Tulsa, Oklahoma’s only congregation affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ). We are building a new, vibrant sacred space to support our congregation’s bright future—and we would love for you to be part of it.
At Temple Israel, you’ll find a seat at our meaningful Shabbat worship services, featuring inspiring music and a warm community. You’ll also find welcoming opportunities to learn about Judaism—whether you’re just beginning, returning, or exploring for the first time. No matter your age or background, there’s a place for you here.
You can also join us in our critical social justice work to help make the world a better place. And beyond programs, we offer simple ways to connect: a meal with our community, or a cup of coffee and conversation. We’re ready to welcome you into the fabric of our sacred community. Temple Israel is here for life’s celebrations, and we’re here to support you during challenging times, too. Please take a moment to explore what we offer, and then reach out so we can welcome you.
Take care & be well,
Rabbi Batsheva Appel
Interim Senior Rabbi
Our new building campaign is in full swing!
