Welcome to Temple Adath Israel
Your Jewish home in Lexington, Kentucky
Temple Adath Israel began as a family venture, 110 years ago. New immigrants and settled Jews brought their families together to form this holy community. Our family has grown and diversified, but we are still family. We celebrate with each other and cry with each other. Our leadership is culled from people who have been here for generations and from people relatively new to the community. Our affiliate groups ensure that every member of our family has a relevant place to flourish in our community.
Religious school begins on Sunday, September 15, at 9:30 a.m.
We will end early on the 15th for a family picnic at 11:30 a.m.
All following weeks, school will end at 12 p.m.
Louis Newman, the Selichot scholar in residence at TAI and OZS on September 20 and 21, is among the country’s leading scholars of Jewish ethics. His book “Repentance: the Meaning and Practice of Teshuvah” gained nationwide recognition and a coveted interview with Krista Tippett on NPR’s “On Being” program, click here to read the transcript. He is the associate vice provost for undergraduate education and director of undergraduate advising and research at Stanford University.
