n Fridays, at 8:00 pm, we gather for warm, creative, inclusive, and Reform Services. Our prayers cover the traditional Jewish liturgy, with many traditional melodies. We add varieties of music, led by soloist Charlotte Rosenberg on the first and second Friday and if there is a fifth Friday, and organist Charles Woodward. We include Torah study, reading from the weekly portion, and commentary, plus a D'var Torah (Sermon) on a subject of our Rabbi's choice. An Oneg follows the service.

On the third Friday of each month at 7:00 pm, we gather for our Family Service. We cover the traditional liturgy, but with music and stories that are age appropriate. An Oneg follows.

Shabbat Morning Torah & Judaism Study, Saturdays, 10 to 11:30 AM meets in our Office and Religious School building at 902 Market St..

The Ritual Practices Committee assists the Rabbi in making our worship service a meaningful experience. The committee members arrange for honors at Shabbat services, assist in the Torah service and generally facilitate the conduct of the service.
To prepare for congregational participation in High Holiday services, the committee members arrange and schedule readings and honors to provide a smooth transition through the services.
At monthly meetings, the committee and the Rabbi discuss Shabbat services, special services and address congregational recommendations and suggestions. All matters of ritual, as practiced by Temple of Israel, undergo review to accommodate the desires of a diverse congregation. During the period of transition without a Rabbi, the RPC arranged for Shabbat leaders from within the congregation.
