Why The Name Tiferet?

According to Jewish mystics, Tiferet is one of the ten attributes of God manifesting in the world. In Hebrew the word means beauty, splendor or harmony. Because true beauty emanates from within, the path of Tiferet for the individual and for the community requires the delicate balancing of mind and heart and, ultimately, a synthesis of the two. Through its rich and varied programming, the Tiferet Center offers a taste of tiferet to its participants. Serving Sharon and the wider Boston community, we hope the Tiferet Center will become a place of beauty, health, healing, comfort and spirituality for all who enter its doorway.

Founded in 2010, the Tiferet Center is partially funded by a CJP Innovation and Engagement Grant. Its planning committee is comprised of Temple Israel volunteers within Adult & Family Education, members of other synagogues and unaffiliated individuals from across the Jewish denominations. The committee has expertise and interest in varied approaches to wellness and healing, Jewish education, pastoral care, and nonprofit programming. Temple Israel professional and lay staff advise the committee. We welcome collaboration with other organizations and individuals who share a common purpose.
