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.
