Dr. Temkin founded  the Israel Institute for Education and Innovation. The organization serves to teach pivotal facts about Israel’s existence and world mission as well as Israel’s contributions and concerns for advancing humanity. These are subject that most popular media sources rarely report and often purposefully ignore.

The Israel Institute presents a wide variety of educational programs with PowerPoint slides to illuminate the dramatic history as well as the contemporary accomplishments and challenges of the Nation of Israel and the Jewish People. The Institute lectures serve to confront the misleading and gross misrepresentations that the often biased media and popular culture frequently assert.

For the past three decades, Dr. Temkin has lectured on topics of Israel, Judaism and Jewish wisdom. He originated the adult Jewish education program called, Teachings for the Soul, and he created and directed the nation-wide American-Israel Emergency Supply Airlift as a response to the 2005 Gaza disengagement.

For several years, he wrote the column titled Pivotal Thought which was published in the weekly news magazine, Israel Today. His writings have appeared in multiple print newspapers and many internet blogs including the Times of Israel and Israellycool, Jewish Journal and the Jerusalem Post.

In addition, Dr. Temkin was a featured speaker at the International Renewable Energy Conference in Eilat, Israel and has been the guest for a number of radio and TV interviews both in Israel and America.

Dr. Temkin is also a Board Member of the Israel-Christian Nexus and has been actively involved with educating Christians to advance their understanding and support of Israel as a Jewish State. Dr. Temkin is a founding member and executive leader of AMCHA’s UCLA Alumni for confronting anti-Semitism and the BDS movements on the university campus.  Recently, Dr. Temkin was invited to join the Board of  Directors for the UCLA Jewish Studies Department.

Dr. Temkin’s major focus is to educate and prepare future generations to stand strong and confront the lies and misrepresentations presented by political leadership and the media concerning Israel and the Jewish people.
