We are a community built on the idea that the divine spark lives in each of us. The coming together of those sparks results in a collective that is aglow with talents, skills, and aptitudes that benefit us all.
Temple Rodef Shalom believes diversity makes us stronger…each and every person has a special gift to contribute…and each and every one of us can share a lesson in living our lives with meaning.
If you are ready to share your gift, your life lessons, your divine spark, come for a visit.

We are a warm and welcoming Reform Jewish community. About 40% of our households have one adult that is not Jewish, and both adults are entitled to all the benefits of membership. (We have an ongoing group called Mothers Circle that encourages and supports our non-Jewish mothers raising Jewish children.) Please join us for a Shabbat service so you can experience the musical, spiritual and communal essence of TRS.
During your first year of membership, you will be invited to several new member events. These are great opportunities to get to know our clergy and staff, lay leaders and other new members in a smaller setting. We also encourage you to choose a few programs or a small group (TRS Tents) to help you get more connected. We’re here to help you along the way!
We ask that you set an annual “Fair Share” Membership Contribution of 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Fees for Security and our Facility Maintenance Fund are assessed separately.

Reach out to our Membership Manager, Melissa Weinstock, to set up a call or to tour our beautiful building.
