My house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples. (Isaiah 56:7)

Reform Judaism holds the mitzvah of ahavat ger, welcoming the stranger, among the most important tenets of our faith.  Temple Shalom actively welcomes  interfaith families into our community  and encourages  their participation in our  Temple and to be a vital part of Jewish life .

We work to empower people to make Jewish choices for themselves and their families and strive to provide resources and support them along their journey so that  Temple Shalom can be  a  welcoming place for people of diverse religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds.

The Outreach Committee welcomes members to a wide array of social and educational programs. Our goal is to help people feel comfortable and connected with the Temple Shalom community.

Our members include individuals and couples investigating Judaism, interfaith couples, Jews-By-Choice, and couples where one or both spouses have converted to Judaism.

Are you interested in:

• Learning about Judaism? Why we do what we do?
• Feeling comfortable during services?
• Understanding what your children are learning in religious school?
• Learning about the culture as well as the rituals?
• Explaining Jewish rituals and customs to parents and grandparents?
• Or just need someone to discuss the issues and your family’s feelings?

If you are interested in learning more, please contact the Temple Shalom Executive Director Steve Lewis at (972) 661-1810 ext. 202.  More information can also be found on the Union for Reform Judaism website.
