Very friendly & helpful staff there! Much more convenient & easier to get to than JFCS in Waltham.

A very active Jewish Temple in the heart of Brookline. It is actually the home of several different congregations. It is very large and many events take place there.

Great Shul ... literally. Huge building..home to several different congregations. Conservative, Egalitarian, multi national, Israeli, etc. Good education programs. Expensive to join. Kashrut observed. It's a complex for Jews ...you could get lost. Location is perfect on Harvard St near all Jewish shops and restaurants.

Why is the synagogue building being demolished?

Miriam wolkenfeld Cohen | Sep 3, 2019
Jeff Wachter | Sep 3, 2019

It isn't being demolished. There have been major renovations lately. I believe the left side of the building (former pre school classrooms and social hall) are next to be redone, so that might be why it looks like it's being demolished. The sanctuary and new spaces have been beautifully done to expand from a single congregation's space to a campus for Jewish life which multiple communities call home.

Who was your cantor?

Sari Fein | Sep 3, 2019

KI does not employ a full-time cantor. All of our services are lay-led with the exception of the High Holidays, during which cantor Saul Wachs leads.
