The new 
building is now open and all Temple functions are being held in the new facility. Come see the finished product of years of planning!!
We look forward to seeing everyone in our new location. Services, Adult Education, Sunday School and other meeting will now take place in our new home.
To see how we made our way here look below for the new building rise from the ground up.
Temple Beth Shalom along with First Congregational United Church of Christ have announced the construction of a new building which will house both congregations. Located in Marion Country, in front of Calesa township on 80th Street. Each congregation will maintain its separate identity, with separate worship space and kitchens and will share common areas and classrooms. The Ocala Tree of Life Sanctuary website is here, or follow us FaceBook.
October 2021, The construction is nearly complete and will soon be ready to use
