Temple Bnai Israel has been part of the greater Willimantic community for over 100 years. We have been in our building on Jackson Street since the mid-1960’s. We are proud to have passed a spark of Torah from generation to generation. Our Temple affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation in 2001. The Reconstructionist movement considers Judaism an evolving religious civilization and views our religious traditions as reflecting our ancestors’ search for meaning, purpose, and values. For Reconstructionists, Judaism is more than Jewish religion; it is the entire cultural legacy of the Jewish people. As a Reconstructionist congregation, we value communal learning and democratic decision-making.
