Temple Israel of Winter Springs, Florida is an egalitarian conservative synagogue where tradition and change sit comfortably side by side; a family of families with a strong sense of community, deeply rooted in Jewish tradition but progressive in outlook. Temple Israel is a center for lifelong Jewish learning, offering a wide variety of opportunities to meet the diverse needs of its congregation through teaching and living tikun olam and being an active force in community service initiatives.
Temple Israel is also a kehilla, a sacred community of people engaged with each other to seek G-d, to explore and live out our understanding of Judaism, to offer and to give support, to share joy and sorrow, to learn and grow together and to explore the meaning of our lives and the wisdom of our ancestors.
The mission of the Men’s Club of Temple Israel is to perpetuate the ideals of Conservative Judaism of Temple Israel & Central Florida, and to support its Educational, Spiritual, Social, Recreational, Adult and Youth Programming. Men’s Club activities include religious and social activities for the congregation, Religious School functions, fund raising, supporting and co-sponsoring events with the Women of Temple Israel.
