A House of Worship That Feels Like Home
Warm and welcoming, Temple Tikvah is a spiritual home for Jews of all backgrounds. We strive to be a warm and welcoming place to families and singles, seniors and children alike. We welcome Jews by choice, Jews of all races and sexual orientations and gender identities, including non-Jewish spouses and partners.
When two dynamic congregations came together in 2008, Temple Tikvah was born. Temple Emanuel of New Hyde Park and Temple Israel of Jamaica combined forces to create a spiritual center filled with joy, inspiration, and hope. Our congregation hails from Northeast Queens as well as western Nassau County. We are truly a melting pot of diversity!
Our tikvah — hope — runs deep. Our hope guides us in everything we do, especially our hope for an endless caring community that is committed to strong connections to our faith and with each other.

In memory of all those in our community who have passed.
A "hakafah" is a circuit of dancing when the Torah is carried around the congregation. Since Covid, we might not be able to dance with the Torah in person, but we were able to send in videos of us dancing in celebration of Simkhat Torah.
