Welcome to The Village Temple
The Village Temple is a place for kesher – connection. It is a home for contemporary Reform Jews who are seeking connections to Torah and the search for spiritual fulfillment, links between past and present and one generation to the next, a bridge between the downtown Reform community with Israel and the world.
We invite all who wish to join us to enter our doors: Jews by birth, Jews by choice, interfaith families. Inside you will find a community of people who are on a quest to reinvigorate Shabbat, holiday worship and Jewish learning, and renew our commitment to tikkun olam through social action and justice.
New Sanctuary Coalition Immigration Accompaniment Training- Wednesday, December 12, 6pm
The New Sanctuary Coalition of NYC is an interfaith network that stands publicly in solidarity with families and communities resisting detention and deportation in order to stay together.
Their accompaniment program recruits and trains volunteers to accompany people facing deportation to their immigration hearings and ICE check-ins. This provides moral support to the person facing deportation and enables volunteers to hold immigration authorities accountable. NSC accompanies hundreds of people a year.
We will have an Accompaniment Training at Village Temple on Wednesday, December 12th at 6PM. Please RSVP to Nelly Szlachter, head of the Social Action Committee.
