Ohr Chadash: LOOKING AHEAD
Our past is defined by the 90+ years we have anchored the Jewish community in the Pomona Valley, and with your support, we can continue our great legacy as our century of service approaches. Our Ohr Chadash-New Light campaign seeks to build on the congregation’s history of distinction, leveraging community resources to transform our physical space and secure TBI as a timeless and enduring Jewish home for generations still to come. To realize this vision, we invite you to join an ambitious and transformative capital campaign, with plans to renovate the synagogue—the heart of our community—and many elements of our seven-acre campus. Our upgraded facility will embody our values as a Jewish spiritual center and a destination for learning, community, social justice and joy.
A New Light for a New Century
Since our founding in 1931, Temple Beth Israel (TBI) has been a hub of Jewish life in the Pomona and San Gabriel Valleys. We offer multiple pathways for engagement, welcoming congregants with warmth, passion and a commitment to creating meaningful community.
At TBI, Jewish education begins with our active Tree of Life Children’s Center. Children in K-7 and beyond who attend our Beit Sefer receive a rich educational foundation and forge connections that last a lifetime. Our Ohr Chadash campaign also seeks to refresh and revitalize these important learning centers.
Our individual members and families grow spiritually through shared worship and multi-generational experiences like our Shabbat Together services, the Brotherhood, Team Tzedek and the Women of TBI. We care about each other’s stories, interests and concerns. TBI members matter to one another—and TBI matters to us all.
When we invest in ourselves, we lay the groundwork for a lasting legacy—making TBI a place where congregants want to be—today and for the next 100 years.
