So we offer many programs and opportunities for enriching your Jewish life and connecting you spiritually, educationally, and socially. No matter where you come from or what you seek, we believe there is something for you here at Wise Temple. Welcoming Diversity Wise Temple is sensitive to the different situations that make up the life stories of our members. We are a rich tapestry of circumstances and possibility. Households of all kinds comprise that tapestry including: single, married, divorced or blended families, widows or widowers, interfaith couples two adults – gay or straight – and no children, one or two adults with children – biological, nationally adopted, or internationally adopted. We honor and welcome these differences. While our life stories may all be different and defy easy categorization, we all have a home in the Wise Temple community.
