Temple Israel is a center for the Jewish community of Tallahassee and the surrounding areas. Our strength is in our people. Like the majestic live oaks of Tallahassee, we are strong, and our roots are deep. Every single soul has a place in our beautiful forest.

In the last eighteen months we have figured out how to succeed in the most trying of times. Temple has continued to play a vital role in the spiritual, educational, and social lives of people. Your generosity last year helped make sure that Temple Israel could remain focused supporting our members, especially those who were impacted financially by this pandemic. We have affirmed the value that every person who seeks to be part of a loving Jewish community can find that home here at Temple Israel.  

As the excitement for the upcoming High Holy Days has grown, so has some uncertainty due to the Covid variants. Covid will be with us for the foreseeable future, but we are determined, now more than ever, to move forward with Temple life. With gratitude for the myriad of ways that you have given to this community, we ask, if you are financially able, to answer this High Holy Day Appeal. This will allow us to move from strength to strength.

If you would like to help underwrite specific costs of these High Holy Days you can indicate that below. In addition, it would be appreciated if you would consider making a larger investment in the High Holy Day Campaign in the form of a monthly pledge over the next ten months.

Wishing you a good and sweet New Year,
