Temple Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation which seeks to fulfill its religious and ethical goals by being a center for spiritual fulfillment, life-long learning, cultural enrichment, community leadership, social responsibility, and by lovingly entrusting our Reform Jewish tradition from generation to generation. We are committed in our support of the State of Israel and of the Jewish people throughout the world.

College Connection
Do you have a student going off to college? How about one or two of them already there? Make sure they stay connected with Temple Israel by signing them up for our College Connection. It's easy! Once we have your student's contact information, he or she will receive the Temple Israel Messenger, information on special events occurring in the Jewish world, an invitation to dinner sponsored by Brotherhood, gift packages for the holidays and more!
Click on the button below to register yourself or your child. You can also register by sending your student's name, school and expected year of graduation, college address (including apartment or dorm number), cell phone and email directly to Miriam Baxter at 248-661-5700.
Sunday nights in the winter can be lonely on a college campus. Beat the "winter blahs" by joining Temple Israel for a few dinners and evenings filled with good company! The Temple Israel clergy will dine with our college students in Ann Arbor and East Lansing, graciously sponsored by the Temple Israel Brotherhood. For dates and more information, contact Miriam Baxter at 248-661-5700.
