Temple Israel of Greater Miami

They get five stars. Never been to a reformed synagogue but I enjoyed the passover service. The rabbi and the president of the synagogue were so welcoming. The entire congregation were warm, friendly, and diverse in race and even sexuality … The synagogue was built in the 1920s so it was beautiful .
We will return!

I agree with Jonathan with Temple Israel being my favorite synagogue in Miami. It was actually the first reform temple in Miami so there’s lots of history here as well as great things in the making.
Temple Israel is home for the South Florida Jewish Winter Music Festival and many more events that attract both baby boomers and young adults. Musar classes, mindfulness groups, and several networking events make it approachable and comfortable whether you’re observant or Jew-‘ish’!
Friday night Shabbat services are held at 7:30PM, Saturday morning at 9:30AM followed by a study group at Joseph’s Table at 11:00AM.

Temple Israel is my favorite synagogue in Miami (and I’ve been to many). It’s historic, the rabbis are thought provoking and even entertaining. The Cantor’s soprano voice is divine. The Oneg Shabbot’s are the best, especially the spread after Rosh Hashannah! Their social justice program should be copied by every house of worship. The only thing I’d like to see is a stronger focus on environmental issues as part of social justice and sermons, but I think that’s a challenge most of Miami’s houses of worship (except maybe the Unitarian Universalists) have. BTW, I hope that Commissioner Sarnoff doesn’t succeed in building a skateboard park next to the synagogue and the City of Miami Cemetery.
Glad to have written the first review.
