Temple Israel is a small Reform congregation of about 35 families. We are a mix of members whose families have lived in Paducah for several generations and of more recent members. Because of our small size, we do not have a permanent rabbi, but rather benefit from the unique points of view of brilliant and enthusiastic student rabbis. Even though we are a Reform congregation, our members include those of Conservative and Orthodox backgrounds, who add another level of richness to our family.
