Hazak

Welcome to HAZAK at Temple Emanu-El!

Hazak is geared for our veteran members that have poured sweat and tears and resources into our Temple over the decades. Now, it is our turn to give back to you. We plan to do that with meaningful programming and activities and some extra attention, so that any and all needs that the Temple can be supportive of, we will be by your side.

We have already mapped out some exciting programming for the coming year specifically geared for you.

This will include a monthly session on the first Tuesday of the month from 11:30 am -1:00pm. These sessions will vary from study with our clergy, to guest speakers and even a movie series. We promise to provide lunch each week and will offer a ride, if you need. Additionally, we will now work on providing transportation to Shabbat services and ANY programming you want or need to attend at Temple Emanu-El.

The congregants and leadership of TE have been warm and welcoming, and although we have only been members for a short time, TE already feels like home.

Our family has found a second home at Temple Emanu-el. For us it is a place for meaningful worship; but also it's a vibrant community that caters to every member of our family. From enriching religious school programs and fun holiday celebrations for our kids, to engaging study sessions and social activities for my husband and me, there's always something happening at the Temple.

My family is not only connected spiritually to our Temple Emanu-El community generationally from the Tenafly Road days, we are also connected physically through this beautiful stained glass dome. My parents were married under this dome in 1955 when it sat atop the Brooklyn Jewish Center at 667 Eastern Parkway. And my Son Harry and daughter Aline had their B’nai Mitzvahs under this same dome. This dome is a magnificent example of the ornamental elements found in Neo-Moorish design used by 19th and 20th century synagogue architects in Europe and the Americas.

I can’t believe our Hebrew school journey has come to end. Thank you to all of our Morahs, the Rabbis, Cantor Singer, and Adam who have all made an impact on my Jewish values. I always love learning about where I come from and the traditions we keep. Not to mention the ice cream truck we get rewarded with at the end of the year has made it all worth it. But seriously, learning the stories of our people and seeing how they connect to the traditions my family observes during the holidays has given more meaning to those stories.

I am blessed to have four generations active as members of Temple Emanu-El. Spending time here with my grandkids creating lifelong memories is a priceless gift.

The first time I arrived on the Temple Emanu-El campus I could feel the vibrant and warm energy. I knew immediately that this is where I wanted my children and family to engage in their Jewish life. Since then, we have been blessed to watch our children move through the Temple’s Hebrew school and become Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Jillian and I have built deep and meaningful friendships with fellow members and the clergy. The energy we felt at the beginning has grown to become a vibrant Jewish light.
