Living Judaism
We are stronger as a synagogue when we create relationship and partnerships with the vibrant Jewish community that surrounds us. It enables us to learn from one another. Learning is an attitude of discovery about how we experience what we do and how we do it. Through strategic alliances, we are forming relational programmatic structures that attract more people to connect to Temple Israel in creative and innovative ways. Here are some of the organizations with whom we have fostered partnerships with in the last year: Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Beacon Academy Bina Farm Center Boston Police Camera Action Team (BPCAT) Boston-Haifa Connection Buckle Farm Center for Teen Empowerment Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) CJP’s Boston-Haifa Connection Congregation Dorshei Tzedek Congregation Kehillath Israel Ganei Beantown Greater Boston Food Bank Greater Boston Interfaith Organization Heading Home Hebrew College Hebrew SeniorLife Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Honeymoon Israel Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) Israeli Stage Jeremiah Program Boston Jewish Alliance for Law & Social Action (JALSA)

PARTNERSHIP HIGHLIGHTS CENTER FOR ADULT JEWISH LEARNING PARTNERSHIPS The introduction of the Center for Adult Jewish Learning at Temple Israel this year represents our commitment to remain a central location for Jewish education in the Boston area. Through strategic partnerships with Jewish organizations such as Hebrew College, Keshet, The Jewish Arts Collaborative, and Israeli Stage, we have been highlighting the best of Jewish Boston and offering all courses, presentations, and programs to the entire Boston community. Temple Israel’s Lifelong Learning Initiative (TILLI) has also opened its doors, welcoming members of other congregations in the greater Boston area to join all events within the TILLI program.
