Temple Israel is Ottawa’s Reform synagogue where Jewish Life Happens — committing ourselves to Kehilah, K’lal Yisrael, and Tikun Olam. We are an active member of the Union for Reform Judaism.
We are a dynamic and welcoming congregation (Kehilah) where varied Jewish experiences offer pathways to learn and to experience God for all, respecting tradition and creating new celebrations.
We are an active liberal presence in the larger Jewish community (K’lal Yisrael).
We strive through social action to fulfill the Mitzvot of caring for others (GimilutChasadim) and repairing the world (Tikun Olam).
We also offer stimulating and relevant Jewish education for members’ children from Kindergarten to Grade 12 at our Temple Israel Religious School.
