come home.
Not just to repair. To build what comes next.
We’re raising $500,000 to rebuild Temple Shalom and set it up for the future: a new entrance, enhanced security, and a safe home for the generations to come.
More than a building
Temple Shalom is more than a building. It is Winnipeg’s home for Reform Judaism: a community where everyone belongs, where every voice is equal, where tradition is alive and growing, and where we work together to repair the world.
There’s a place here for you.
“Many people live a Reform Jewish life without realizing it.”

Rebuilding Temple Shalom keeps Reform Judaism alive in Winnipeg.
Give now →Early June
A storm took our building.
Not our community.
A wind and rainstorm destroyed much of the Temple. The scope of the damage is extensive. But Temple Shalom has always been its people, and we are still here: praying, singing, learning and gathering together.
- Water poured in from the roof
- The ceiling collapsed
- Water penetrated the walls
- Light fixtures exploded
- Critical infrastructure was damaged
“Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.”Exodus 25:8
The vision
Reimagine. Recreate. Rebuild.
Fixing what the storm destroyed is only the start. This campaign sets Temple Shalom up for the future: a home that is open, safe and ready for the generations to come.
01 · Reimagine
A new front door.
A new, welcoming entrance that says what we believe: everyone is welcome here, whether it’s your first visit or your thousandth.
02 · Recreate
Spaces to gather.
Restoring the sanctuary and the rooms where we pray, learn, sing and celebrate simchas together.
03 · Rebuild
A safe space.
Enhanced security so Temple Shalom remains a safe place for every child, family and guest who walks through our doors.
Safe.
04 · For the next generation
L’dor v’dor.
From generation to generation. Rebuilt to last, so Reform Judaism has a home in Winnipeg for the generations to come.
