Temple Israel, located in Springfield, is a
conservative synagogue in the heartland of Illinois. Religious
services are on Friday evenings at 8:00pm and Saturday mornings
at 9:00am unless otherwise noted on the calendar. The
congregation hosts a weekly Chaverim meal for the Springfield Jewish
Federation.
Have we overlooked you?
As one of our
congregants recently noted, one of the pluses of attending
services at Temple Israel is that, because we are a small
congregation almost everyone who attends can get an aliyah,
an honor, or the opportunity to do an English reading.
Would you
like to read in English or Hebrew at a Friday night or
Saturday morning service? Have an aliyah? Open the
Ark? Lift or wrap the Torah? Chant the kiddush
on Friday night?
Please, let the Rabbi know. We
are eager
to broaden our base of participation.
