Everyone is invited to join us as we celebrate our 50th Jewish Food Fair and our 175th Anniversary! Temple Israel, originally founded in 1850 as Congregation Rhyim Ahoovim, is one of the oldest Jewish communities in California. One of our earlier synagogue buildings is a City of Stockton Historic Landmark and our cemetery is a California Historical Landmark, recognized as the oldest Jewish cemetery in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River. Temple Israel has proudly been a part of Stockton's history since the city's early days, adding to the diversity of both Stockton and the extended San Joaquin community. Come enjoy great food, great music, and so much more as we celebrate this amazing time in the life of our community.
Experience Temple Israel
Our synagogue is more than a building, a service, a school, or a set of programs. Our members come from all over the world and represent a variety of Jewish thought and practice. We commit ourselves to a journey of discovery where each of us can deepen our connection to Judaism and our ties to Israel. Some of us discover greater Jewish meaning through community, some through study, some through worship and celebration, and some through acts of Tikkun Olam (Social Justice). We support Jewish creativity and welcome all who are interested to join us.
