At Temple Isaiah, we strive to create meaningful worship experiences. We come together through music, prayer, celebration, and reflection in a warm, supportive setting. Congregants and visitors gather in our sanctuary and chapel on Shabbat and holidays as a community unified by hope and tradition. Our talented clergy strive to make services meaningful and relevant to modern life through music, poetry, learning, and personal connections.

MUSIC
The spirit of Temple Isaiah is embodied in our music. Joyous, soulful, religious, secular, vocal, instrumental, performed by young and old—music is key to expressing the heart of our community.
Services include traditional melodies, new settings of prayers, and celebratory songs. Cantor Lisa Doob teaches these new settings and songs during the service so congregants may fully share in musical expression. If you would like to join the adult choir or are interested in learning more, please contact the choir liaisons or Cantor Doob.
