              Temple Sholom’s valuable Chesed Committee is a group of people who provide advice, care, comfort, and other necessities in times of need for Temple members and their families. Chesed means “kindness,” and whether dealing with the loss of a loved one, an illness in the family, or whether somebody in the community has simply fallen on hard times, the Chesed Committee will be there to be supportive in any way possible.

            • Greening Our Sacred Community

              The exact meaning of Chavura is somewhat elusive in English, but many resources will tell you that the word is frequently translated as “fellowship.” Eco Chavura is a fellowship of Temple Sholom congregants working to create a sacred community of environmental stewards. Our ultimate goal is to develop the “green” conscience of the community, which we’re doing through participation in the GreenFaith Certification Program.

          • It’s Our Turn
            • It's Our Turn

              It’s Our Turn (IOT) is primarily a social group: We are not yet old enough to be forever young, but it is definitely Our Turn to enjoy life. The focus is on congregants who are empty and never nesters, and welcome all who identify in that age group. We plan and attend events that are usually off-site; some evenings are purely fun, others combine enjoyment with Jewish tradition.

            • Mishpacha

              Often times, families join a synagogue in order to connect with other families with similar values and religious beliefs as well as with a hope of being part of a greater Jewish community.

              For this reason, Mishpacha programming was created to build that community for families at Temple Sholom.

              At Temple Sholom, there is a continued commitment to LGBTQ social causes and our Temple Clergy proudly officiate and endorse same-sex Jewish weddings. This group is a natural extension of that welcoming spirit, as the Temple continues to support diversity and welcome everyone in times of celebration or of need.

Our senior youth group for teens, Orr Shalom, is led by a youth board and participates in monthly social action projects, social events, and Temple events.
