Temple Hatikvah - The Homestead Jewish Center is a liberal congregation serving the Jewish community of South Dade (Homestead, Perrine, Palmetto Bay, The Redland, Cutler Ridge, Upper Keys & Northern Monroe County).  It was founded as a Jewish Community Center in 1952 by visionary Jewish pioneers who moved into deep South Dade where they wanted to build a center of Jewish life. We have been in the same location since then.  

In 1974, the community reorganized.  Most of the members at the time came from Naranja and The Redland.  The synagogue continued to grow.   At our peak the synagogue had almost 300 family units!  On August 24, 1992 Hurricane Andrew decimated The Homestead Jewish Center, and much of the larger Homestead community.  Most of our members relocated, but those faithful few who remained, rebuilt the Center with hope to continue serving the Jewish community of South Dade.  We  renamed our congregation Temple Hatikvah, which means: The Temple of Hope.

Our congregation is small but very hemish (warm and friendly). Our dynamic rabbi and inspiring cantorial soloist lead us in Shabbat and holiday worship services twice a month. Our one hour services are enhanced by the beautiful music of Millie Draizar.  We have family Shabbat dinners and we celebrate Jewish holidays with joy.  We always welcome new friends, winter visitors or just well wishers; click here for membership information.  For our current  schedule, please consult our calendar.  We hope to see you soon!
