Say goodbye to summer and hello to a fresh new year at Temple Judea!

Our Back to Shul community celebration is right around the corner on Friday, August 28 and will be filled with joy, connection, and plenty of spirit!

First, enjoy a subsidized Shabbat dinner at 5pm graciously provided by the TJ Brotherhood and Women of Temple Judea. At 6:15pm, we will gather for a spiritual, musical, and family-friendly Erev Shabbat service. Register now to be part of this joyful night of tradition, laughter, and community. Registration ends Sunday, August 23rd at 5pm, so sign up soon!

For our teens, the Back to Shul experience continues after dinner with our Shul-In Sleepover at the Temple! From games and activities to snacks, movies - and some special surprises - they’ll have a blast while deepening their Jewish identity. Breakfast is provided, but bring your own pillows, blankets, air mattresses and sleeping bags and enjoy time with old friends and meet new ones. It's a great way to start off the year!

As we prepare for the year ahead, we remind you that now is the time to renew your 2026-2027 membership commitment and enroll your children in Religious School (which begins Sunday, August 30). This will ensure that everyone receives important membership, security information, and High Holy Day tickets for the exciting year ahead. For any questions, email

Whether you're reconnecting with old friends, meeting new families, or just coming for the challah, this is the moment to celebrate all that makes Temple Judea special. Mark your calendar for these special dates, spread the word, and come Back to Shul with us!
