Founded in 1952, Temple Israel continues to provide a lively and stimulating environment for hundreds of individuals and families in southeastern Virginia, who seek a welcoming place to experience the joys of a full and rich Jewish life.
From engaging Sabbath and holiday services to enriching educational classes, from entertaining musical programs to fulfilling social action projects and from celebrations of life cycle events to opportunities for leadership and personal growth, Temple Israel is, in the words of our mission statement, "a vibrant, egalitarian Conservative Jewish congregation, striving to meet the spiritual needs of a diverse membership."
Feel free to visit us any Shabbat morning for prayer and fellowship. For information on membership and programs, consult this site or contact the Temple Office at 757-489-4550 or via e-mail TempleIsraelVA@aol.com.
