Getting Here
Temple Israel is a historic, urban synagogue that’s easily accessible via public transportation, car, or walking. We’re nestled between Riverway Parkway and Longwood Avenue, only steps from the Longwood Medical Center. Please come and visit us and experience our community first-hand!
Access to Parking:
For worship services and Temple-sponsored events, parking will be validated for the 375 Longwood Avenue parking garage, which is just outside our building. We are not able to validate for parents, visitors and events for the FJECC Preschool and Beacon Academy, vendors, employees, or funerals.
Public Transportation:
We are located two blocks from the Longwood Station along the MBTA Green Line’s Riverside (D) route. We are also only two blocks from several bus routes that stop near Beth Israel/Deaconess Hospital. The #39 bus that travels from Copley Square to Forest Hills Station stops at Mass College of Art on the corner of Longwood Ave. and Huntington Ave., which is less than a mile from the Temple. We are also about 4/5th of a mile from Coolidge Corner.
