Shalom & Welcome to Temple Israel! Since 1914, Temple Israel has been a welcoming Reform Jewish congregation rooted in the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma, affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ). We are building a new, vibrant sacred space for our congregation’s bright future. We have a seat for you at our meaningful Shabbat worship services with amazing music. We have a place for you to learn about Judaism, no matter your age or background. We have a place for you to help us with the critical social justice work that we do, to help make the world a better place. We have a seat for you to join us for a meal or share a cup of coffee. We are ready to weave you into the fabric of our sacred community. Temple Israel is here for all of life’s celebrations as well as to support you when there are challenges. Please take a moment to explore what we have to offer and then reach out so we can welcome you to our community.
Take care & be well,
Rabbi Batsheva Appel, Interim Senior Rabbi
