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.

Temple Tifereth Israel was saddened to learn of the death in late November
of Mary North Allen, the mother of Rabbi Katy Allen. Rabbi Allen had previously served as Temple Tifereth
Israel’s Rabbi and spiritual leader for 3 years. We here at Temple Tifereth Israel send our deepest
sympathies to Rabbi Allen and her family.
The Rabbi’s mother is remembered for her stories, her wisdom, her vision,
her depth of knowledge, and her amazing life. She was born in 1919 in upstate New York, married Paul
James Allen in 1943 and in 1946 they moved to Wisconsin. Mrs. North was an accomplished photographer
and taught photography through the Wisconsin University Extension Program. Her photographs have been
exhibited throughout Wisconsin and published in regional and national books and magazines.
As a small girl, the Rabbi’s mother went backpacking in the Adirondacks and,
at 10 years of age, went down the Colorado River in a rowboat with her father, the Rabbi’s grandfather.
Left as testimony to Mrs. Allen’s fulfilling life are hundreds of her photographs and an unpublished
memoir that she wrote over a span of some 30 years.
Life is sometimes compared to an always-flowing river that never ends.
While the death of the Rabbi’s mother marks the end of one era, we are gladdened to learn of the start
of another new era with the recent birth of a new granddaughter to Rabbi Allen and Gabi Mezer – MAZEL TOV!
