Letter to the Community

Dear Friends,

Puxsatawney Phil has seen his shadow and from this quaint American custom we are told to get ready to face 6 more weeks of winter. In the Jewish calendar we have just celebrated TuB’shvat which lets us know that the sap in the trees is beginning to move and that Spring cannot be to far behind. This year at Temple Israel we celebrated TuB’shvat twice, once for the adults, and once for our family education program.

Meet the Rabbi

 Our Rabbi, Efraim Eisen, is known internationally for the "Basherte" workshops he has lead with his wife Rosalie, in which Jewish singles gather to examine their lives and move toward finding their basherte, their destined partner.  Efraim has been an inspiring rabbi  since he arrived here in 2002 and has many qualities to share with our community including his love of music and storytelling. He has also brought with him some wonderful resources and friendships which have enabled us to provide exceptional quality workshops, lectures, & concerts.  In addition, Reb Efraim is a licensed marriage and family therapist, who has helped  thousands of people over the past 30 years.
