Temple Chai's 8th Annual Chai Steaks event was a great success!

It was a fun evening filled with good food, drinks, poker, and time spent with friends while making new connections. Thanks to everyone who attended and helped make the night so enjoyable!

Our Chai Connect Hiking Circle enjoyed another great hike together!

Our New Memorial Wall

Our beautiful new Memorial Wall is in place in the sanctuary, creating a meaningful and lasting space to honor the memory of our loved ones.

Memorial plaques are available for purchase. Each plaque serves as a permanent tribute to someone you hold dear and becomes part of this special space in our new sanctuary.

If you previously had a Memorial Wall plaque at our former campus, there is no need to purchase a new one. 

We're Collecting Donations for NourishPHX Again!

We're happy to once again be accepting donations for NourishPHX, a local nonprofit that supports individuals and families in need throughout the Phoenix community. NourishPHX provides everyday essentials, including food, clothing, shoes, and toiletries, while also offering resources and support to help people become self sufficient.
