Welcome to Temple Israel

Temple

Temple Israel, located in Vestal, New York, is a modern, conservative synagogue founded in 1886 and is affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Jewish Theological Seminary.

Temple Israel provides a complete range of religious, educational, spiritual and pastoral services dedicated to the principle that our people's survival and our personal satisfaction depend upon a living heritage that is loyal to the past and relevant to the present.

Traditional in practice, yet sensitive to the diverse needs of all the members of the community, Temple Israel holds that the religious experience, as reflected in the synagogue, should be spiritually satisfying, intellectually honest and aesthetically appealing.

The synagogue, with its rich program of educational, social and cultural activities, aims to create a community of mutual support, intellectual vitality and spiritual sustenance. The active participation of all its members is encouraged.

Our website includes details on upcoming family programming, summer programming, religious services, links to educational resources and information about celebrating holidays, as well as Torah text and audio, community resources, and much more.

We offer a daily minyan at 5:30 pm in the downstairs chapel.  Please join us and help make the minyan.
