Religious Services

     Religious services are held at the Temple every Saturday morning at 9:30 and every Sunday morning at 8:30. Following Shabbat morning services, a kiddush is provided, and Sunday morning services are followed by a no-cost breakfast. Additional services are held on Jewish holidays and monthly on Friday evenings.

Hebrew School

     Temple Tifereth Israel provides Jewish education for children between the ages of 7 to 13 as well as preparation for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Hebrew School classes are normally conducted weekly on Wednesday afternoons and on one Sunday morning each month. However, class times may be changed for the convenience of the students and their parents if agreed to by parents and the Hebrew School.
     Parents interested in having their children attend the Hebrew School can contact the Temple at 617-846-1390 for additional information.

Yahrzeits And Sickness

     On Saturday mornings, "me sha'berachs" are said for friends and relatives that are sick, and "el mole rachamims" are said in memory of those whose yahrzeits occur in the coming week. If you would like to have either a "me sha'berach" or an "el mole rachamim" said, please contact the Temple the week prior to when you want the prayer recited. If you know the Hebrew name of the person for whom the prayer is to be said, please provide that information, along with the name of the mother (for a "me sha'berach") or the father (for an "el mole rachamim"). If Hebrew names are not known, English names will suffice.
