Register for Services
Wolman Services
Our beautiful traditional egalitarian services are led by Rabbi Michael Werbow, along with expert lay leaders. We use Mahzor Lev Shalem, which is rich in commentary and links study and prayer through a synthesis of historical scholarship and spiritual vision.
Services will be available in person, with open seating for all services, and via Zoom.
Youth, Teen and Family Services
Families with children of all ages are invited to join Rabbi Kelley for an engaging, interactive service (complete with shofar blowing) in the Cherner Auditorium before heading to age-appropriate holiday-themed activities and davening. Age-specific programming will be available for tots, kindergarten through second graders, third through sixth graders and teens.
Borrow a Mahzor
You may borrow a Mahzor for home use during the Holidays by stopping by TI during office hours.

EMPTY YOUR POCKETS CAMPAIGN: MOSAIC VISIONS
Sunday, September 24, 6:15 pm
Sponsored by the Social Action Committee
Each year, the Social Action Committee selects an organization to support and encourages TI members to "empty their pockets" on their way to Kol Nidre services. This year's recipient is Mosaic Visions, dedicated to forming an inclusive space that generates visibility for marginalized and underrepresented Jews of Color within the Global Jewish community.
Learn about Mosaic Visions here.
