Welcome
to Congregation Children of Israel, Augusta's Reform Synagogue! We have
been serving the needs of the Augusta Jewish Community since 1845. Augusta
has grown into Georgia's largest metropolitan area outside of Atlanta. Our
Synagogue has also grown and moved several times since 1849. Augusta, Georgia
is a great place to live and our Synagogue is a great place to worship.
Rabbi Robert Klensin joined our Synagogue family in July, 2004. His personality, knowledge, and especially his warmth have made a deep impression on the congregation. Rabbi Klensin brings 30 years of Rabbinic experience in the warm tradition of Reform Judaism. He enjoys teaching, and sharing his excitement about Judaism with others. We welcome him with enthusiasm and hope that his tenure with us will be long and fulfilling.
Rabbi Klensin would be pleased to talk personally with you about our
synagogue, Jewish community, or religious practices. You can reach him
through the temple office. We'd love for you to visit Congregation Children
of Israel and meet Rabbi Klensin. Join us any Friday evening for Shabbat
services or call the rabbi in the synagogue office to make an appointment.
Shabbat services are held Friday's at 7:30 PM except the first Friday of most months when we have a special Family Shabbat when we have dinner at 6 PM following by a 7 PM service, Saturday's at 9:30 for Morning Services and 10 AM for Torah Study. Watch the Temple calendar for specific information
