Message from the Executive Director
I would like to invite anyone visiting the Scranton area or contemplating moving to our area to stop by Temple Israel. We are the only Conservative synagogue in Lackawanna County. You will be surprised by the beauty of our facility and we are very friendly and welcoming. We have regular daily services, as well as shabbat and holidays. Stop by any day at regular hours and we will give you a tour. If you live in Scranton or environs and have not chosen where you wish to worship you should consider Temple Israel. I will look forward to meeting you.
Seth S. Gross, Executive Director
