Come As You Are
No matter where you are on your Jewish journey, there is a place for you at TCS!
Welcome Home
Temple Chayai Shalom is a welcoming and egalitarian community where everyone has a place. We celebrate diversity and warmly embrace people of all identities and backgrounds — including those from interfaith families, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone interested in discovering or deepening their connection to Jewish life.
Join us as we build meaningful connections, create opportunities for engagement, and share the richness of Jewish tradition throughout Southeastern Massachusetts and the greater New England area.
At TCS, we are united by shared values
and strengthened by community.

Education
Young Explorers (Up to 5)
Our youngest students learn about the Torah, holidays, and Jewish values while forming friendships and making connections.
SULAM (K through 5th Grade)
TCS’s innovative educational model for grades K-5 is called “SULAM,” the Hebrew word for “ladder.” SULAM is an acronym for: Source for Understanding, Learning, and Meaning.
Gesher (Grades 6 & 7)
Our 6th graders study Shabbat prayers and texts along with learning about Jewish values, spirituality and traditions. Students in 7th grade focus on Jewish Life-Cycle events and Mitzvot.
Teen Programming (Grades 8 through 12)
Our teenage students experience being part of a Jewish community and get to explore what it means to be Jewish and decide what path they want to take as adults.
