TEMPLE REYIM
"Reyim" means friends, and our friendships are the life of our community.
We look to the stories, wisdom, spiritual insights, and halacha of our tradition to bring meaning into our lives.
Our community is defined by the core Jewish value of gemilut hasadim, compassion and loving kindness.
Please find our Adult Learning Program pamphlet for the coming year here. Rabbi Berman will also be teaching classes this year and will share more soon.
This is the first step in a project to document the construction and renovation of our building. Teens will learn photography basics with photographer Gary Alpert, including composition and lighting tips. Any phone, tablet, or camera will work.
Our Reopening and Reentry Committee, together with our Executive Committee, has approved practices and policies so that we can gather together safely.
These policies are based on the state's guidelines for houses of worship, high vaccination rates in Newton and surrounding towns, and low incidence of virus in our region. We are reevaluating our policies as necessary with the changing virus rates in Newton, Middlesex County and Massachusetts.
Please help us uphold these policies to ensure the health and safety of our sacred community.
Thank you for your cooperation.
