Temple Emanuel is a welcoming, independent-thinking, and unique Reform Jewish congregation . Our members are warm and friendly and our rabbi is very approachable and musical. We have an excellent religious school and offer a variety of adult education opportunities .
We attract down-to-earth people seeking a Jewish home for ritual, cultural, or social reasons. Many of our families include interfaith couples looking for a temple where they will be welcome and a place to educate their children. We do not, nor have we ever, charged for High Holy Day seats. (We rely on voluntary donations by those who attend.)
Inclusion is a core belief of the members of Temple Emanuel, and we put that belief into action . Membership is open to all who are committed to or are exploring Judaism: singles, couples, families with children, non-traditional relationship and family dynamics, people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, relationships where everyone is Jewish and interfaith relationships, people with extensive Jewish knowledge and beginners. Our current membership reflects that diversity. We welcome everyone w
