The Center of Jewish Life in Northeast Louisiana
Office hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 9 am to 1 pm.
Phone: 318-387-0730 Email: 1868temple@gmail.com |
Congregation B'nai Israel, fondly known as the "the Temple", is located in Monroe, Louisiana which is on the banks of the Ouachita River and Bayou DeSiard.
The Temple is truly a congregation of volunteers, who put in countless hours because of their love for Judaism and their desire for a strong Jewish community, committed to the values and conduct of the individual, the family and the society in which we live. As members of the URJ, we extend a warm welcome to all who are seeking a Jewish community built on the fundamental and enduring principles of Reform Judaism. |
Masks are now optional when in the building.
For those unable or uncomfortable coming to the Temple, the service will be streamed live through our website (see below). If you have any questions, please call 318-387-0730 or leave an email at 1868temple@gmail.com.

PRIOR SERVICES
TORAH STUDY WITH RABBI JUDY
Rabbi Judy will begin a new course of Torah Study in October. This year, we will be using a new book called The Mussar Torah Commentary which was edited by Rabbi Barry Block. The book (and our Torah Study) will examine a spiritual path to living a meaningful and ethical life. For those of you who wish to purchase this new book, which was published in 2020, you can order it from the CCAR Press at https://www.ccarpress.org/search.asp?searchString=Mussar or from Amazon. It is $22.95 at either site. It is not necessary to purchase the book to be a part of the Torah Study. Because several of the participants who joined our Torah Study on Zoom last year have asked that we continue to offer it that way, there will continue to be an in-person option when I am in Monroe and a Zoom option online to participate in Torah Study.
