A vibrant and creative presence in Skokie, the North Shore and beyond, the community of Temple Beth Israel is a diverse population of Reform Jews. Together we share friendships, celebrate life’s joys, support each other through difficult times and work to make the world a better place. Our Rabbi, Rachel Kaplan Marks, creates worship and study that is welcoming and engaging to all.
Upcoming Events
Kabbalat Shabbat Services with Leadership Shabbat – Friday, June 2, 2023
As we are taught, on Shabbat we try to become attuned to holiness in time. Temple Beth Israel offers these varied, inspiring, joyful, and soulful Shabbat worship experiences so that we can share in that holiness together. All services can be accessed both in person in the Lorge Sanctuary or via our livestream.
Kabbalat Shabbat – A Simple Shabbat Service
When I observe Shabbat, I feel the presence of the Divine (Ibn Ezra, Siddur Sefard)
This simple service offers a chance to pray the Shabbat liturgy, surrounded by our community and accompanied by piano or guitar. This Service includes a story, sermon, or teaching and will include the Auf Ruf of two of our members.
5:30pm – Likrat Shabbat
6:05pm – Shabbat Services
Shabbat Morning Worship, on June 3, 2023
