Celebrate Our Past – Build For Our Future
During these Days of Awe when we all stand before the divine throne for judgment and petition that Hashem may seal their destiny for happiness, I gratefully make the following contribution to Temple Emanu-El.
Usher Volunteers for the High Holy Days
In order to maintain an atmosphere conducive to High Holy Day worship, Temple Emanu-El relies on volunteers as ushers. Responsibilities for ushers include assisting our paid security team throughout the premises, controlling access to the various services, maintaining decorum within the services and adjacent areas, and assisting guests. We need to enlist as many people as possible for this effort.
If you plan to be on campus these High Holidays and are interested in helping out by ushering, please CLICK HERE and complete the form to let us know which days you will be available on campus. Josh Levinson (joshualevinson@artistictile.com) will then create a schedule and communicate that to you.
High Holy Day Flowers
Order flowers for your holiday table, or for your friends and family, from the Sisterhood of Temple Emanu-El. Please place your order online by CLICKING HERE.

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.

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.
