Temple Israel members and friends of the congregation may attend all services, programs, and events. If you are Jewish and new to the community or happen to be passing through town, you can plan to visit the synagogue or attend a service. We invite you to reach out as well if you are not Jewish but perhaps genuinely curious and interested in learning about Jewish traditions and customs. Maybe you want to show your support by participating in an interfaith program or celebrating a Jewish holiday with someone you know. Please email us at templeisraelky@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail message at 270-442-4104 if you haven’t been to Temple Israel before and would like to attend a service, program, or event.
