The members of Monmouth Reform Temple strive to create and maintain a community that embodies the ideals and practices of Reform Judaism. To achieve this mission, we set objectives in four aspects of synagogue life: House of Learning, House of Worship, House of Assembly, and Repair of the World.

House of Learning (Beit Midrash בֵּית מִדְרָֹש)
We are a synagogue:
• that teaches Torah.
• that empowers its members to take responsibility for their own Jewishness.
• that provides Jewish knowledge and education for adults and children.
• that helps its members create Jewish homes and foster Jewish memories.
• whose teachers are knowledgeable about and committed to teaching Reform Judaism.

House of Worship (Beit Tefilah בֵּית תְּפִלָה)
We are a synagogue:
• that worships together as a community.
• whose members strive to understand God.
• whose members are familiar with its services and are comfortable participating.
• whose members recognize the sacredness of the Jewish calendar by celebrating Shabbat and Jewish holidays.
• whose liturgy reflects the needs and desires of its members.

House of Assembly (Beit Knesset בֵּית כְּנֶסֶת)
We are a synagogue:
• that strives to fulfill the role of extended family.
• where every member commits to contribute a fair share of time and money.
• where issues of daily life are discussed from a Jewish perspective.
• where members and their families socialize in a Jewish environment.

Repair of the World (Tikkun Olam תִּקוּן עוֹלָם)
We are a synagogue:
• that provides a Jewish presence in the larger community.
• whose members participate in social action projects.
• whose members contribute to Jewish and non-Jewish charities.
