THE HISTORY OF TEMPLE SOLEL

Temple Solel was founded in March, 1970 and has grown from its original membership consisting of 35 families to its present membership of close to 700 families. Rabbi Robert P. Frazin became Temple Solel's first Rabbi in 1971 and was spiritual leader of Temple Solel until his retirement in June, 2007. On July 1, 2007, Rabbi Jeffrey Kurtz-Lendner became Temple Solel's second senior Rabbi in its 37 year existence, with Rabbi Frazin becoming Rabbi Emeritus.

While worship services in the early years of Temple Solel were conducted in a local high school and then an elementary school, in 1975, Temple Solel dedicated its building located at 5100 Sheridan Street in Hollywood, Florida. The sanctuary underwent substantial renovations in 1997, at which time Temple Solel's beautiful stained glass windows were installed.

Temple Solel and its members have been actively involved in the Hollywood and Broward communities, initiating the founding of the Inter-Faith Council of Greater Hollywood and the Broward Outreach Center for the Homeless.

The congregation's rich and joyful expansion has led to fulfilling its name, Solel, "Pathfinder."
