About us

Welcome to Temple Tikvah, a new Reform congregation serving eastern Queens and western Nassau. 

The roots of Temple Tikvah lie in two outstanding congregations -- Temple Emanuel of New Hyde Park and Temple Israel of Jamaica.  In the summer of 2008, these two dynamic, responsive and inspired congregations consolidated to form Temple Tikvah, A Center for Reform Judaism.  Under the guidance of Rabbi Randy Sheinberg, and with a membership residing in both Queens and Nassau, the Temple Tikvah congregation is hard at work to create a Temple community that welcomes everyone. 

Revitalized by the consolidation, the spirit of our members is filled with hope, the meaning of our Hebrew name, Tikvah:

Hope that our congregation will always be a caring community, committed to strong
connections to our faith and to each other;

Hope that our congregation will be an active part of the multicultural community that
surrounds us in Queens and Nassau;

And hope that our congregation will honor its belief in Tikun Olam -- healing the
world --  by following a path of social action.

 To find out more about becoming a part of our active congregational life, from religious services, religious school and lifelong learning to participation in our Sisterhood, Brotherhood, Youth Groups, or activities designed for those in their 20’s and 30’s,  or for singles of all ages, call us at 516 746-1120.
