Temple Tifereth Israel of Winthrop is an unaffiliated Jewish congregation,
whose services and practices nominally follow the Conservative tradition. We provide a welcoming and
relaxed atmosphere for our congregants and visitors. The Congregation is committed to preserving Jewish
values and traditions.
The Temple is located just north of Boston and is adjacent to East Boston,
Logan Airport, Revere, and Chelsea. Winthrop has a population of approximately 25,000, is largely
residential and is a peninsula with the Atlantic Ocean to the East and Boston Harbor to the West.
Public transportation provides convenient low cost access to Boston,
while road access to Boston, points west and south is provided by 3 tunnels below Boston Harbor.
Points north of Boston, including New Hampshire and Maine, are easily reached by highways adjacent to
Winthrop.

The proposed New Temple - Senior Housing Project of Temple Tifereth Israel
and the Chelsea Jewish Foundation is already benefitting the Town of Winthrop. On 4 April 2012, the
Chelsea Jewish Nursing Home Foundation, Inc. and Affirmative Investments, Inc. sent two very generous checks,
to the Grants Administrator for the Town of Winthrop to be used for improvements
to the Daw Playground located near the southern end of Veterans Road.
The project was also mentioned in a front-page article in the Winthrop
Sun Transcript of the week of 22 April. This article addressed the benefits to the town from the
ongoing revitalization of Shirley Street, which includes the New Temple - Senior Housing Project.
The best is yet to come!

Would you like to begin to learn a new language? Would you like to
learn to speak modern Hebrew? Our Temple is offering a beginners' course in conversational
Hebrew. Burton Figler will lead the class. We will start at the basics -
the Hebrew alphabet - and make our way from there. The speed of the
course will be geared to the level of proficiency of the participants. This course will
consist of 8 sessions, lasting 60 to 90 minutes each, tentatively scheduled for 3 Saturdays
a month, around 12 noon (following Shabat services and kiddush). The schedule may be
modified for the convenience of the class members.
The classes will be limited in size to 8 participants - first come,
first served and is not limited to Temple members.
The starting date will be announced when 4 participants have been signed up.
Cost for the 8 classes is only $25. (Husbands and wives can attend at a combined
cost of $40.)
