At Temple Israel, our mission is to create an inclusive center for spiritual fulfillment and community building through the lens of Reform Judaism. That’s why we’re devoted to encouraging an atmosphere of lifelong learning and appreciation of Jewish culture. We support our homeland, the State of Israel, and are passionate about helping Jewish communities across the globe. Since the very beginning, we were committed to the idea of Jewish community as a means of preserving Jewish traditions through the inclusive setting of a Reform congregation. We were the first Reform congregation in the metro Detroit area to introduce a cantor to the service, and to revive the tradition of Bar and Bat Mitzvah. We also saw Reform Judaism as a way to make an impact within the community, which can be seen from the thousands of community events and charitable fundraisers we've held throughout the years. As the great Talmudist Rabbi Solomon Bar Isaac (otherwise known as Rashi) wrote, "The main descendants of the righteous are their good deeds." And that's a big part of our mission at Temple Israel - to bring about positive social change through our Jewish values. Our hope is to continue Temple's tradition of preserving these cherished values for future generations.
