Temple Beth Israel is a vibrant, diverse, traditional and close-knit congregation. We are an independent synagogue that seeks to provide spiritual, social and physical access to and inclusion in meaningful Jewish life and tradition. We enjoy a full calendar of religious, social, educational and social justice dialogue and activities for the many ways our congregants and friends connect to Judaism, to their community, and to the world at large. With a 100+ year history in Waltham, on any given day we find members who were born into Temple Beth Israel warmly embracing newcomers.

Leket’s cookbooks “Leave No Crumb Behind Shavuot Edition” & “Leave No Crumb Behind The Honeycake Collection” are great recipee sources!
We are honored to welcome Mark Ettinger, a member of the Leket Israel board and founder of the Food Rescue Institute, and Gilad Skolnik, New England Representative and Director of Development for American Friends of Leket Israel. Together they will discuss the challenges of hunger and food waste, the work being done to address food insecurity in Israel and beyond, and how communities can make a difference through food rescue and tikkun olam. Whether you come for the learning, the conversation, or the shared meal, this promises to be an inspiring and delicious evening.
