Israel is an intrinsic part of our Jewish soul & collective spirit. We pray toward Jerusalem, chant Torah in Hebrew, study & engage, wrestle with & celebrate our Jewish home, an extraordinary symbol of hope & promise in the Middle East. From our youngest preschoolers to our most active Chai Villagers, Israel is part of everything we are at Isaiah.
With a sense of optimism and excitement, we are thrilled to share details on our Summer 2023 Journey to Israel. Registration is now OPEN and space is limited, so sign up today!

Rabbi Dara interviews Rabbi Rachel Timoner and Cantor Evan Kent "live" from Israel. July - 2019
Rabbi Dara Frimmer and Rabbi Rachel Timoner discuss Jewish Identity Politics and the conflicting, and seemingly contradictory, experiences of being both vulnerable and powerful. How does the historical (and contemporary) Jewish experience of trauma and oppression as a minority group make us stronger allies in the fight for justice? How does our power/privilege complicate our efforts to join coalitions? Thanks to Dr. Mijal Bitton, Fellow in Residence and faculty member at Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, and the Rosh Kehilla and co-founder of the Downtown Minyan in New York City, for her lecture on this topic.
Rabbi Dara Frimmer and Temple Isaiah’s Emeritus Cantor, Evan Kent, sit down in Jerusalem for a pre-Shabbat talk about life-after-aliyah, Israeli politics, Jewish identity and (feral) cats. Thanks to everyone who shared their questions online.
