Welcome to Temple Micah
 Temple Micah, named by Newsweek as "One of America's 25 Most Vibrant Congregations", is a Reform Jewish congregation dedicated to the spiritual fulfillment of its members. We value religious observance enhanced by social action, intellectual challenge, lifelong Jewish learning and beautiful music. Our diverse and welcoming community nurtures personal connections through active participation in a vibrant temple life.
Order High Holy Day Tickets Online
 The High Holy Days are early this year--Rosh Hashanah Eve is Wednesday, Sept. 8. Now is a good time to order tickets online. No log-in necessary. At the same time you can request day care, list names for Yiskor, order a prayer book, make a donation, or volunteer to help make our services the awe-inspiring experience we all love.

Members and friends of Temple Micah are welcome to join us. If you are interested, please email the club. For more information, look at the ski club page.
New Book Hails Micah as “Extraordinary” Congregation
Temple Micah is one of eight congregations that “helped people connect to Jewish life in a new way….that had gone from commonplace to extraordinary,” according to Sacred Strategies: Transforming Synagogues from Functional to Visionary, by Rabbi Lawrence Hoffman and three co-authors. Rabbi Zemel, who is planning a Sunday morning talk with Hoffman and co-author Steven Cohen, says, “We should all be very proud and a little embarrassed.” The books are being sold through the Judaica Shop for $18, you can request your copy here.
