Temple Adath Israel of Lexington, Kentucky is a Reform congregation linked to a tradition of welcoming those searching for a community committed to honoring the dignity we all share as children of the one God by embracing these enduring Jewish values: Avodah (Worship); Talmud Torah (Torah Study); Zedek (Social Justice); and Kehilah (Community).
Take some time to browse our web site. A good place to start is to learn more about us as a congregation, about our Rabbi, and about our leadership
The Temple Board is undertaking an opinion survey of the TAI Congregation. We hope that this feedback will give the Temple’s lay and spiritual leadership a better sense of what the needs of our congregational families and members are so that we may better serve our Temple community. This opinion survey is an essential part of the leadership’s efforts to make the Temple vital and relevant to our members’ lives.
We ask that you complete the form by September 28. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Each person over thirteen years of age in your household should fill out the survey. Temple Board members will be conducting follow-up telephone calls on a random basis, so not all members of the congregation will be contacted. If you want to ensure your inclusion in the phone survey, please call or email the Temple office.
Your Temple Board members are seeking your suggestions. Go to the On-Line Suggestion Box webpage and leave us a message.
