Welcome to Temple Micah

new front 3Temple Micah, named by Newsweek as "One of America's 25 Most Vibrant Congregations",  is a Reform Jewish congregation dedicated to the spiritual fulfillment of its members.  We value religious observance enhanced by social action, intellectual challenge, lifelong Jewish learning and beautiful music. Our diverse and welcoming community nurtures personal connections through active participation in a vibrant temple life.

Sukkot in SpringDo Good + Get Exercise = Feel Good: Sukkot in Spring

When is painting and scraping, hammering and sawing fun? When you do it with your Temple Micah friends at Sukkot in Spring, the annual Yachad project when synagogue volunteers repair the homes of low income families, the elderly and disabled who are unable to do it themselves. This spring, the work will be done on two Sundays, May 13 (to prep) and May 20 (the main jobs). More information and sign up.
