A community’s vision for the future
Situated on Longboat Key, Temple Beth Israel is currently fundraising for its existing building’s expansion and redesign. The renovation will focus on transforming areas to better serve the Temple’s evolving community needs. The result will bring people together, aid in providing education, and acknowledge Temple Beth Israel’s four decades of history on the island and connection to Judaism.
