Worship

Temple Beth Israel's services are known for their musicality, warmth and spirit. They feature a blend of creative and traditional liturgy. As a focal point for Jewish spiritual and cultural life in Eugene and Lane County, we seek to involve as many individuals and families as possible in an enjoyable, stimulating, and meaningful community life.

Shabbat services are held throughout the year on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings in the sanctuary using the Reconstructionist, Kol Haneshamah siddur (prayerbook). Services are also held on all Holy Days.

Participation
It is our policy to encourage equal participation of women and men in services; we also encourage our youth to contribute to services as their learning continues. We offer a monthly Friends and Family Shabbat Service and a Tot Shabbat. TBI is open and welcoming to Jewish and interfaith families of all kinds.

Music at TBI
Temple Beth Israel is a musical community, and music plays a large role in our religious services. The only way to really experience this aspect of our community is to join us for a service, but in the meantime, you can check out our Music Page for a sampling...

Holidays
Throughout the year, TBI organizes holiday activities, including highly festive religious celebrations for Simchat Torah and Purim, senior holiday luncheons, a Hanukkah fair, and a community seder during Pesach. All holiday events are open to the larger Jewish community.
