Welcoming Shabbat with V'Shamru by the Teen T'filah Team at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan

Temple Israel was organized during the summer of 1941 in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. From its inception, the aim of the Temple has been to revive many of the symbols and traditions of Jewish heritage and establish them within a Reform setting.

It was the first Reform congregation in the Detroit area to introduce a cantor to the service, and to revive the tradition of Bar and Bat Mitzvah. It holds a daily morning minyan and regards wearing of a kippah as a matter of personal choice.

On November 3 Temple Israel's Teen T'filah Team led the congregation in the Kabbalat Shabbat service in singing V'shamru.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
