We are deeply grateful that, thanks to your collective support and dedication, Temple Israel continues to thrive as a vibrant and flourishing congregation. TI’s membership has grown more than 60% over the past five years, which has inspired our clergy, staff and Board of Trustees to ask important questions about how our campus can support and nurture our growing congregation well into the future.

Fortunately, we were presented with the opportunity to purchase the property adjacent to Temple Israel at 6 Coleytown Road, and we are pleased to announce that we closed on the property on May 5. Read more in Westport Journal

Temple Israel Westport bought an adjoining two-acre property to accommodate a surge in membership. They now have 1,100 members.
