Temple Israel, founded in 1920, is a Reform congregation, affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ, formerly the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, UAHC) since 1985. For 89 years, Temple Israel has provided a Jewish religious cultural, social, and education presence on the island of Alameda.
To enhance the meaning of our lives as Jews, we strive to foster the reciprocal connections between the Temple and its congregants. Children and adults, individuals and families create a multigenerational community participating in traditional religious and social activities, lifelong Jewish learning, and the larger Jewish community.
