Temple Solel is a growing, vital Reform congregation offering programs for all ages. Our name, Solel, tells something about our philosophy. Solel is a Hebrew word, which translated into English means "Pathfinder." Since our founding in 1966, we have looked for fresh pathways and approaches to Jewish celebration, learning and living, while maintaining an abiding respect for traditional Jewish values.

Temple Solel was established in 1966 by a group of 12 individuals living in the greater Phoenix area. This group shared a vision of a congregation committed to worship and education, hoping to remain a warm and personal community as it met its mission. While having grown exponentially, there is no doubt that Temple Solel has remained true to its original intention. In the ensuing years, Temple Solel has matured to what you see now, a progressive synagogue that blends Jewish values, ethics and traditions into a house of worship and community.

Temple Solel is a warm, friendly and nurturing congregation that we are proud to call home. We offer worship services, programming, social functions and volunteer opportunities for all age groups.

Temple Solel is happy to host ShabbatLuck members during the High Holy Days. We have a new contemporary service led by Rabbi Linder and Cantorial soloist Todd Herzog. The Rosh Hashana Contemporary Service on Thursday, September 9th is at 8:30 am in the sanctuary, and Yom Kippur, Saturday, September 18th at 8:30 am. Yom Kippur afternoon, Yizkor and concluding services are at 3:30 pm followed by a break-fast in the courtyard.
