Temple Israel, Reform synagogue in Ottawa, Canada
Temple Israel is a Jewish congregation in Ontario, Canada, founded as a reform community that offers various activities. The building houses a school with classes for students of all ages and a library.
The congregation was founded in 1966 as the first reform community and moved to a new location in 1975 after initial meetings. This shift marked a change in the structure of the local Jewish community.
The library here focuses on Jewish literature with works for adults and children. Visitors can find reference materials and fiction maintained by volunteers.
The site offers school programs for different age groups from young children through teenagers. Visitors should check ahead for when public events or services take place.
A fire in 1972 destroyed the original location and forced the community to relocate several times. This eventful beginning eventually led to establishment at a permanent site.
