A Message From Our Co-Presidents
Welcome to Temple Beth Israel – opening doors to a richer and more meaningful life, where friendship, spiritual growth, community engagement, the pursuit of social justice and learning, and the celebration of Jewish culture fulfill our lives.TBI is a vibrant adult reform congregation serving Longboat Key, the barrier islands of St. Armands Key, Lido Key, Bird Key, the communities on Anna Maria Island, Cortez and Bradenton, and downtown Sarasota.
TBI holds weekly Friday evening and Saturday morning Shabbat services, as well as all holiday services, led by Rabbi Stephen Sniderman and accompanied by a wonderful choir. Further, Rabbi Sniderman is available to all members for life cycle events and pastoral counseling, and conducts weekly classes in a variety of Jewish topics and Torah study on Saturday. The Rabbi’s insightful sermons nourish our Jewish souls.
We cordially invite you to visit TBI to meet Rabbi Sniderman and Executive Director Isaac Azerad, and to learn about the 92Y@TBI programs, the Rabbi Michael B. Eisenstat Miniversity of Judaism and, of course, the widely acclaimed lifelong learning Education Center at Temple Beth Israel. The Beth Israel Women and the Men’s Club would also welcome the opportunity to tell you more about their many activities.
Not currently a TBI member? Call to plan a visit.
Our family extends a warm welcome to you and your family, and we look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Marion Levine & Michael Boorstein
