A Message from Jay Ascher, Director of Youth Engagement:

It has come to my attention that a few teenagers have tried to contact me via social media. While I appreciate their enthusiasm for Temple Israel programming, please note that I do not interact with minors over social media. It has also come to my attention that someone with the same first and last name has inappropriate usernames on some social media platforms. I want to assure you that these are not mine and for your safety, please do not interact with these accounts.

Temple Israel wants to assure you that your family’s safety is our top priority. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to myself , Jennie Gates Beckman or Nate Shapiro , Executive Director.
