From the moment you step through our doors, you'll feel at home in our welcoming community.
At TSTI, we believe in the power of prayer to enrich our spirits and guide our lives. While prayer may not solve every challenge, it can nourish the soul, heal the heart, and strengthen our resolve. Our community thrives on the active participation of our members, whether they are children or adults, as they contribute to the growth and vitality of our synagogue.

Whether you're seeking spiritual growth, educational opportunities, or social connections, you'll find your place here. And if you have a unique idea or interest that isn't currently offered, reach out to Beth Blackman to explore new possibilities together.
Our Jewish traditions and rituals provide meaningful ways to navigate life's significant milestones, from births and b’nai mitzvahs to weddings and funerals. Our clergy are also here to support and commemorate new Jewish lifecycle moments, including retirement, pregnancy loss, gender affirmation, healing, and more.
Join us for special events like Macabbiah Day, where our sixth graders, guided by our dedicated Rishona, Rotem Reshef, lead engaging activities for younger students. Explore travel opportunities to Israel with fellow members or immerse yourself in our latest gallery exhibit, "Strangers in a Strange Land," which beautifully intertwines Passover and art to reflect on themes of immigration and exodus.
At TSTI, we live by the adage, “Pray as if everything depended on God; act as if everything depended on you.” We invite you to be part of our dynamic community, where tradition meets innovation, and every member plays a vital role in shaping our shared journey. Discover what resonates with you at Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel, and let's create memorable experiences together.

Reviews
"I would not recommend this place. They employ Zionists who are spreading hate speech right now. When told about the employees' behavior, they block people, meaning they condone the behavior."
"Went to attend an interfaith Roshashana gathering. Incredible time listening to peope making efforts to end hate and stand up for each other."
"I went to hebrew school here all from 1st-8th grade. Then I did hebrew high, went through confirmation and was on the youth group (STISY) board for three of my years of high school. The community here is amazing. I’ve never once had a bad taste left from any experience here. They embrace diversity, have amazing groups created to help the communities surrounding us. My family is unique and they don’t do anything but show us love and respect. I work here now as an office manager and after awhile away it’s nice to see that everyone remembers you and makes you feel welcome. I cannot recommend the temple enough. The clergy will know you as well. Just keep coming and you get in what you put out!"
"We have been members of TSTI for more than 20 years and it is truly our temple home. A welcoming place with warm clergy, we enjoy attending services and being a part of a reform community that opens its heart to all who want it to be their spiritual home."
"Fifteen years ago we moved to NJ and we've looking for a preschool for our son and a new congregational home for our family. We were lucky to find TSTI. It is a welcoming and open community that cares about the world outside of its walls. TSTI is a partner in the Interfaith Food Pantry of the Oranges and runs a soup kitchen on the second Saturday of each month."
