Membership
The inclusive atmosphere fostered by our lay leadership during regular services, High Holidays, lifecycle, and other events is the heart of Temple Solel. All we are has been built on those pillars, and with your support, we plan to continue the programs and services we offer our community. Social Action is an important focus of the congregation.
