However you define your family, we welcome you to ours
Temple Avodah is the center of Reform Judaism in Oceanside and the surrounding communities. Our congregants come from all over the South Shore of Long Island including Oceanside, Freeport, Baldwin, East Rockaway, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, Island Park, Hewlett, Woodmere, Long Beach and all surrounding areas. For those seeking a meaningful Jewish experience at a South Shore Reform Temple, Temple Avodah is an outstanding choice. Our Temple is a beit t'fillah (house of worship), beit midrash (house of study), and beit knesset (house of assembly). We are an inclusive congregation, welcoming traditional and non-traditional families, couples and individuals with varied lifestyles. However you define your family, we welcome you to ours. We value the joy of prayer, study and service. Temple Avodah is a place to connect with God, celebrate life cycle events, receive comfort in times of need, and develop lasting friendships and memories. We recognize Jewish education is a lifelong process that begins with our religious school and continues through our adult education programs. Our vibrant youth programs support and prepare our children to live meaningful Jewish lives. We embrace our obligation as Jews to improve ourselves and the world around us. We are dedicated to preserving Reform Jewish values and traditions for future generations.

Temple Avodah supports same-sex marriages as was recently confirmed by the State of New York. We sincerely hope that the passage of this bill provides the opportunity for all humanity to enjoy equal rights and God-given happiness. Temple Avodah lives by a simple premise…“However you define your family we welcome you to ours.”
Important Temple Survey
Temple Avodah is proud to announce the launch of its most comprehensive Membership Survey ever undertaken. This project will allow us to gain a deeper understanding of the composition of our congregation, as well as the thoughts, opinions and feelings of our members regarding many aspects of temple life.
Your participation in this important project will allow your individual voice to be heard. In addition, the survey will allow us to accurately measure the collective concerns of the entire congregation, which can have an impact on future activities and policies at our temple.
An e-mail will be sent to all members whose e-mail address is on file in the temple office. Clicking on the link will allow you to easily complete and submit the survey online. All responses will remain anonymous and will be reported to our leaders only as generic, total figures. Members who do not have their e-mail address on file at the temple office will receive the survey in the mail, which can then be mailed to, or dropped off at, the temple. For your convenience, additional printed copies of the survey will be available in the temple lobby.
The time you take to provide your thoughts and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
