Welcome to Temple Israel of Great Neck

Welcome to Temple Israel

Since its founding over 60 years ago, Temple Israel has been a leading congregation of the Conservative movement in America. A traditional, egalitarian community serving more than 1,000 member families, Temple Israel is big enough to offer a full range of religious, educational, and social activities yet intimate enough to invite participation and foster friendship.

If you're already a member, this site will help you stay on top of the many events that make up the days, weeks, and months at the Temple. If you are new to the area or you are looking for a new spiritual home, explore the site and learn more about this vibrant and dynamic community.
