Temple Isaiah Young Professionals

TIYP – Temple Isaiah Young Professionals – is a social, spiritual & educational initiative designed for folks in their 20s, 30s & early 40s to connect with one another, with Temple Isaiah and with congregants of all ages. Temple Isaiah is proud to be a multigenerational synagogue; congregants represent just about every age & life stage imaginable. TIYP celebrates those connections: throughout the year we’ll host events specifically for folks in the young adult demographic AND we’ll highlight broader multi-age Temple Isaiah events we believe are of interest to this age demographic.

Not yet a member of Temple Isaiah, or want to get more involved in TIYP? We look forward to meeting and discussing together what belonging to Temple Isaiah can look like for you. Reach out to Membership Manager, David Sabel to learn more.
