COVID-19 RESPONSE & RESOURCES

While The Temple’s historic building remains closed to communal events, we continue to serve our community to inspire lives and transform our world.

Please see below for the most up-to-date ways in which we have adapted to our current situation and, as always, be in touch. We are only a phone call or email away; your clergy and community are here for you.

EMERGENCY SUPPORT FOR OUR MEMBERS

Your Temple clergy and your Temple community is here for YOU.

COVID-19 is evoking in all of us different fears and concerns. It is also awakening in many of us a deep connection with and love for our families, neighbors, and especially for those who are most vulnerable during this time.
