BE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Becoming members of a synagogue is a significant decision for your family, and we hope you will consider joining our modern, Reform family at Wise Temple! Whether you are new to Cincinnati, a longtime resident of the area; whether you are a young family interested in religious education opportunities, a young adult looking to meet others and engage in Jewish opportunities, or at a different stage in life looking to deepen your Jewish roots through worship, social activities, volunteerism, or Jewish learning, Wise Temple has a place for you.

  • Interfaith couples looking for inclusion of both partners
  • Families with small children or older children who are interested in family engagement
  • Singles of every age looking for a deeper sense of community and shared Jewish experiences
  • Young couples preparing for marriage
  • Empty nesters with a renewed interest in Temple life
  • Single parents, blended families, widows/widowers
  • LGBTQ+ couples and singles

No matter where you come from or what you seek, there is something for you at Wise Temple. People enter Jewish life through different doors and with different needs. We offer many ways to enrich your Jewish life and connect you spirituality, educationally and socially.

CONNECT WITH US

It is important to our clergy, staff, and lay leaders that the membership process is tailored to YOUR needs. As a result, we ask that you contact our Executive Director, Jeff Stern, to share your interest in learning more about membership at Wise Temple. We look forward to the opportunity to learn more about you, provide answers to your questions, share details about our community, and connect you with clergy and staff to help you learn more about us and see if we are the right fit. Jeff can also outline membership benefits and expectations and will share with you a membership application when you decide the time is right.
