Temple Concord, a Reform congregation affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, represents a modern interpretation of Jewish tradition, designed to meet the individual's search for personal Jewish identity and meaing within the context of community. Temple leaders reach out to members in three areas important to Judaism: worship (Avodah), community (Am Yisrael) and education (Torah).
