Temple Israel Helps Resettle an Afghan Family (Page
ENGAGEMENT AT TEMPLE ISRAEL
In this community, how do we ensure that all people feel seen, known, and supported?
How do we help people see Temple Israel of Boston as their spiritual and communal home, fostering a sense of warmth and belonging that transcends demographics?
These are some of the questions that our newlyfounded Engagement Strategy Team will seek to tackle, as we strive to develop new and innovative ways to connect people to each other, to Judaism, and to our vibrant and dynamic congregation.
The Engagement Strategy Team is spearheaded by people representing the breadth and diversity of this community. We seek to bridge various distinct areas of congregational life, breaking down the silos that naturally emerge in a large congregation, and replace them with bridges that span the wide range of what Temple Israel has to offer. In addition to robust lay leadership, we are comprised of staff representing various corners of our community including Clergy, Programming, Membership, Development, Communications, and Engagement. As a collective, we bring our unique perspectives to the table, collaborating to discover what might be possible when we unite to explore the infinite potential of this bustling synagogue.
By Rabbi Andrew Oberstein
Our Engagement Strategy Team seeks to be a well of resources for this congregation, nourishing the totality of our community by helping Temple Israel’s wide range of initiatives and committees see their work through an engagement lens. We will work to better understand the extent to which our members currently feel connected to our community and to take action to improve their overall sense of belonging here. We are interested in exploring the initial touchpoints of interaction in our community, to ensure that those who enter our congregation are met with a sense of extraordinary embrace and are connected to initiatives and people who will enrich their lives and make Temple Israel feel like home. We will pay special attention to the natural transitions that occur as personal interests and life circumstances change, so that individuals stay supported and involved. Intrigued by the innovation and creativity found in our Small Groups Initiative and in the many other classes and projects that exist, we will work to enhance, strengthen, and create new ones through shared interests, identities, and curiosity. All of this will be done through the partnership of community and staff working together.
When we work together, the possibilities are endless. If you are interested in learning more about the Engagement Strategy Team, please contact Rabbi Andrew Oberstein at aoberstein@tisrael.org.
Welcome to our newest members!

"Given the number of alternatives in the Boston area, choosing a temple seems like it should be a weighty decision, that might involve meetings with clergy, attendance at various services, and comparison shopping. But for me, joining Temple Israel involved none of those. Not even a test drive. What drew me to TI was its formidable reputation as a welcoming spiritual home for people of all colors and flavors, its emphasis on learning and understanding, and its active engagement with social justice issues. And the fact that I like and respect everyone I know who belongs there was a definite plus!"
- Jill Greenberg
Israel: “Troubled Committed”
A Year of Study and Conversation
As the Talmud teaches, “all of Israel is responsible for one another,” – we are part of a peoplehood that welcomes a plurality of beliefs and opinions, but demands personal, active engagement. This year, the Center for Adult Jewish Learning at Temple Israel of Boston is embarking on a year of study and conversation that seeks to invite all to enter what Donniel Hartman of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem calls “troubled committed” – a space where we are allowed, even encouraged, to engage in dialogue regarding conflicting issues and values, while acknowledging our relationship to Israel and the necessary stake we have in it’s future as modern Jews.
We invite you to join us, with “troubled committed”, as we seek to engage in conversations with open hearts, allow ourselves to be challenged without vilifying those who disagree, and invite complexity into our own long held perspectives. We seek to heed the moral urgency of the moment, while remembering that complex change requires creativity, commitment and patience as we look towards creating a just and safe Jewish future where our children remain committed but have the luxury of being less troubled.
Daniel Sokatch in Conversation with Rabbi Suzie Jacobson
Friday, February 11 at 6:00 p.m. Qabbalat Shabbat
Join us onsite or online for an engaging conversation between Rabbi Suzie Jacobson and Daniel Sokatch, New Israel Fund CEO and author of the new book Can We Talk About Israel? A Guide for the Curious, Confused, and Conflicted. This book is a primer on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and attempts to grapple with a century-long struggle between two peoples that both perceive themselves as (and indeed are) victims, and explain why Israel (and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) inspires such extreme feelings.
Yossi Klein Halevi in Conversation with Rabbi Elaine Zecher
Sunday, March 6 at 1:00 p.m., Onsite or Online
In partnership with the Shalom Hartman Institute, we welcome Yossi Klein Halevi, a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and co-director of the Institute's Muslim Leadership Initiative (MLI), which teaches emerging young Muslim American leaders about Judaism, Jewish identity, and Israel. His latest book, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, is a New York Times bestseller.
TEMPLE ISRAEL PARTICIPATES IN THE MUDDY RIVER CLEAN-UP
In early October, Rabbi Oberstein and eight Riverway Project participants headed down to Charlesgate Park in downtown Boston to clean up the Muddy River. By the end of the 90-minute clean up, the group managed to fill five bags of trash totaling 50 pounds. All of this would have ended up in our waterways had the group not been there to clean it up.
"I greatly enjoyed my experience volunteering with the Muddy River Initiative through TI's Riverway Project. As someone in the process of converting to Judaism, it was wonderful to meet other members of Temple Israel and put into practice the concept of tikkun olam, while enjoying a beautiful fall day in Boston!"
- Kasey LeBlanc
"Aleinu - it is upon us to care for this planet and pitching in with fellow ‘Muddy Buddies’ in the Riverway community. The experience was both an engaging way to deepen relationships with each other and have an impactful way of living out our Jewish values.”
- Jamie Cassidy Merrill
Temple Israel has embarked on a journey to ensure that everyone, regardless of race or other personal identities and experiences, is made to feel that they belong. We are not alone in this. TI’s action is part of the Union for Reform Judaism’s national Racial Justice Campaign. But make no mistake: the need for change here at TI is urgent. We have heard too many stories of people of color and others being treated differently and therefore feeling like outsiders -- often because of our unconscious biases. We can and need to do better.
A “REDI Conversation” is a relational opportunity for Temple Israel staff, clergy, lay leaders, and congregants to connect with one another and engage in a conversation about racial equity, diversity, and inclusion with the goal of fostering a culture of belonging at Temple Israel. Here's what we've heard from people who have participated already:

RFYTI: Temple Israel’s Teen-Led Youth Program
"Throughout my life, Temple Israel has provided me with an encouraging space to take agency in developing my unique practice of Judaism through learning, teaching, justice work, and community building. As a “life-long” member of TI, I hold visceral memories from the pre-school playground as well as foundational moments in developing my personal pedagogy as a madrich. I have also been blessed with friends, mentors, and profound experiences of connection through community during my high school years at Monday Night School (now “The Tent”). The consistent support and love I’ve received at TI has allowed me to explore and refine my own beliefs and desires to deconstruct supremacist beliefs in my own life and communities. I feel grateful for the opportunity to make space for our teens and Justice League students as they take ownership of their own unique Jewish identity, place in community and justice practice.
"As Developer of Youth Justice Programs and Education, I am committed to opening space for the brilliance of our tzaddiks-in-training to shine and lead our community. As I witness our young leaders walk their life-long path, I delight in joining them at the crossroads of their “practice.” I have no interest in averting these often-uncomfortable moments with “right” and “wrong.” My desire is to foster each student’s trust in themselves by responding to their questions with a diverse range of Jewish perspectives before reflecting their questions back at them. It’s a delight to work with the TI Education Team to offer these co-created experiences with our youth while integrating the somatic racial equity, diversity, and inclusion work we’ve committed ourselves to into our own practices. I believe in myself, our students, and our community as we pursue moonlit tikkun olam and honey-soaked joy on our journey towards ‘olam ha-ba."
- Ari Zimmet, Temple Israel’s Developer of Youth Justice Programs and Education and RYFTI Advisor
"I have grown up at this synagogue and watched my older sister take the position of RYFTI president when I was in the seventh grade. I looked up to her and admired her passion for Judaism. It helped to redefine what it meant to be a practicing Jewish teen. I began looking at the position at Temple Israel as anything I made it out to be. Being co-president has allowed me to have a platform for myself and others to practice leadership skills and Judaism in different ways. It has been vital to developing my identity as a young Asian Jewish woman."
- Greta Huang, RYFTI Co-President
