We promote the enduring and fundamental principles of Judaism that sanctify the eternal continuity of the Jewish faith and provide a religious environment in which individuals may seek and find spiritual and meaningful relationships in worship, in study, and in assembly. In addition to Shabbat services for our members and guests, we also conduct festival and Holy Day services that are part of the Jewish religious tradition throughout the year. We conduct High Holy Day services for the Congregation's "Extended Family" and attendance peaks are more than 800 participants, depending on the location, for each of these services at a particularly spiritual and sanctified time of the year. We sponsor adult education programs open to members of our congregation and to our community. Under the leadership of Dr. Eric Rosen, the Temple also conducts a religious school for children from grades K-6 through confirmation. Rabbi Arfa directs our curriculum and the faculty is enhanced by dedicated and caring teachers. Our rabbi and our synagogue are always available for all life cycle events as well as Pastoral counseling in accordance with individual and/or family needs. We open our doors to all, and particularly welcome men and women who are students throughout the greater Tampa Bay area and provide a "gathering place" for seasonal guests who become part of our extended family. Our Temple is spiritually committed to the Prophetic Words: "This House Shall be a House of Prayer for All Peoples."
