Welcome to Temple Adath Yeshurun
We are an historical congregation, nearly 140 years old. While we take great pride in our Manchester past, we are also committed to our present and our future. We offer an opportunity for those who so choose to worship, study, celebrate and mourn together; TAY is also committed to making our community and our world a better place, and so we are actively doing ‘TIKKUN OLAM’ --- repairing our world through ‘GEMILUT CHASADEEM’ --- acts of loving kindness.
As Reform Jews, we take seriously the mandate that each of us should make our own educated decisions about ritual and so you will find our families spread out across the spectrum of Jewish observance. Each of us however, is dedicated to living an active and committed Jewish life, and we hope that if you are looking for a spiritual community to call home that you will consider joining the TAY Family.Please feel free to contact me by phone (603-669-5650) or by email (rabbidavidsontay@comcast.net) if I can be of assistance.
L’Shalom,
Rabbi Beth D. Davidson

A man is nothing but a small plot of land, A man is nothing but the image of the landscape of his birthplace, Only what his ear recorded when it was still fresh, Only what his eye took in before it had seen too much, Whatever was encountered on the dew-covered path By the child who tripped over every bump and clod of earth… -Shaul Tschernichovsky (early 20th century) In the second century, under Roman rule, Rabbi Judah Hanasi was acknowledged as a unique combination of religious and political leadership. A great scholar, he was also on close terms with [...]
Editor’s Note: The following post was issued as a press release this afternoon following the news today that Rabbi Miri Gold would become the first non-orthodox Rabbi to be paid by the State of Israel. Israeli Reform Rabbi Miri Gold will be the first non-orthodox Rabbi to be paid by the State of Israel, under a ruling today by the Israel Attorney General. Rabbi Gold, who first heard the news on the radio said, “This is a big step for religious pluralism and democracy in Israel. Israeli Jews want religious alternatives and with this decision the State is starting to [...]
Editor’s Note: In response to the massacre of more than 100 civilians by the military forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of the Union for Reform Judaism, issued the following statement. We condemn in the strongest terms the massacre this weekend of more than 100 Syrians, many of them children, by President Assad’s forces in Syria. This tragedy is yet more evidence – as if any were needed — why Assad must relinquish power and bring an end to the violence that has been perpetrated over the past year. The world must know about the events [...]
Last week in Greenville, Mississippi, we at the Hebrew Union Congregation, and the First Presbyterian Church had our annual pulpit exchange. This is an event that both communities have very quickly come to love. Congregants enjoy seeing neighbors, making new friends, learning something new about another religious tradition and hearing a fresh voice give the sermon. The Reverend Jonas Hayes, pastor at First Presbyterian, and I have been talking about what more might come from the relationship our congregations enjoy. After all, we are powerful. Power is one of the concerns that drive us to join communities in the first [...]
