Temple Isaiah is a special place: We are a warm and caring community that values and respects the individuality of its members and the diversity of its membership. We are deeply committed to Jewish tradition, and proud of our on-going history of innovation. We offer a vast array of programs and activities, which encourage our members to find their own paths and craft their own approaches to living a Jewish life. We take Jewish education seriously, for ourselves and our children, which encourage our members to question and challenge. Our outstanding professional leadership values and relies on congregants as partners in determining our synagogue’s direction and planning our programs. We strive to be a sacred community that matters in our members’ lives and makes a difference in the larger world.
Whether you are considering joining our congregation or are a current member, we encourage you to explore our website and to visit us. Come for a service, a program, or a lifetime. Become involved in learning, programming, or social action activities, and find your place in the fabric of our community.
We are an inclusive community, with members from a wide range of backgrounds. We welcome all who wish to participate in temple life, regardless of religious background, race, ethnicity, ability, socioeconomic status, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. We strive to be an accessible congregation, welcoming those with physical and learning disabilities as well as mental health challenges.
We are located in historic Lexington, Massachusetts, but draw our membership, now comprised of over 800 households, from many neighboring communities. We participate actively in community life in many of the towns where our congregants live and work through interfaith programs, Mitzvah Day projects, support of regional and national Jewish organizations, and other activities.
