TEMPLE is the story of four Jews who each want to change something about Jewish history. Rabbi Chekolech wants to go back to Ethiopia in the 1600s to warn Beta Israel villages of the emperor's raids. Cantor Adam wants to go back to Atlanta in the 1950s to prevent the bombing of The Temple. Sisterhood officer Sarah wants to prevent the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. Rachel just wants to shoot Hitler. They all discuss these desires while preparing for a vigil in their own temple, when G-d decides to grant their prayers and send them all back in time. From there, it is up to them to decide if they really want to alter the course of Jewish history forever.

Two women keep meeting throughout their reincarnated lifetimes, but because of various circumstances, are kept apart. The first time, it is a mythical time in England and Elizabeth is Princess Isabella’s maid; Princess Isabella must marry a man for political reasons. The second time, it is the 1800s and Sisters Elizabeth and Isabella are living together in an Italian nunnery. The third time, it is the 1920s and Beth and Bella meet in the bathroom of Le Monocle, a Parisian lesbian night club; Bella already has a partner. The fourth time, it is the 1970s and Lizzie is the president of the Gay Union, and Izzy shows up way too early for her first meeting. For the first time, there is nothing in their way.
