Celebrate Jewish traditions through our art and baking workshops. Visit our Treasures Judaica Gift Shop for beautiful Seder plates, tallitot, Kiddush cups, fabulous Chanukah Bazaar items and much more all throughout the year.
Community Engagement
Organize life-saving blood drives. Stand up for social justice. Create gift bags for new moms and babies. Knit blankets for children in need. Volunteer for Judy’s Place, our TRS Holiday Shop that teaches children the joy of giving.

Spirituality & Education
We support the Temple and worthy charities by holding exciting fundraising events throughout the year. We host a benefit luncheon for the Women of Reform Judaism’s YES Fund, which aids future leaders in Reform Judaism.
