Temple Isaiah is more than a synagogue. It is a Jewish Neighborhood - a place of learning and purpose, friendship and celebration.

As the oldest and largest synagogue in Contra Costa County, our roots run deep in a uniquely Californian approach to Jewish life - grounded in tradition and open to innovation.

We welcome all who come through our doors with warmth, openness, and care. Our community reflects the beautiful diversity of Jewish life today, including interfaith families, people at every stage of life, and individuals of all abilities, backgrounds, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Inspired by the prophet Isaiah’s vision of a house of prayer open to all peoples, we strive to live our values through spirituality, study, and action. We bring our hearts, minds, and hands together to pursue justice, connection, and meaning in the modern world.

We know there is a place for you here.

Questions? We would love to connect.
