Israel Education

Our congregation is proud to support Israel in every aspect of its life and culture. To ensure that the members of our congregation understand the importance of Israel to Jews throughout the diaspora, we have created a number of programs that place Temple Shaaray Tefila at the forefront of Israel education in America.

• ISRAEL-LAND: Thanks to a grant from the Legacy Heritage Foundation, we have created an interactive museum that enables congregants to explore Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Masada, the Dead Sea, and kibbutz life through exhibits and hands-on experiences. Admission is always free.
• FEATURED GUEST SPEAKERS: Our proximity to New York City gives us opportunities to host some of Israel’s leading government officials, activists and scholars, who provide their inside perspectives on the issues affecting Israel and Jews throughout the world.
• ISRAEL ACTIVISM: Through a partnership with national Jewish organizations (including AIPAC, AJC, and ADL), Temple Shaaray Tefila helps lobby U.S. lawmakers on the importance of full financial and political support for the Jewish homeland. We invite you to learn more by attending periodic local meetings and AIPAC’s annual Policy Conference in Washington, D.C.
