Sisterhood
Some of the strongest bonds of our congregation exist not just among family members, but amongst friends who have become like family. Dating all the way back to 1928, our Sisterhood group provides enrichment for the mind and soul and a haven for togetherness. Our social and educational programming includes lectures on women’s health and parenting, cooking classes, craft nights, Sisterhood Shabbat, and an extensive Purim Shalach Manot program. The Sisterhood group also provides Shiva meals to families in mourning, maintains our Judaica shop, sends care packages to college students, and supports the synagogue financially and through volunteerism. Registration for Sisterhood events is open to all, but available at a discount for synagogue members.
While our Sisterhood group is open to and attended by women of all ages, we have another group, Z’havah, that offers events catered to young professionals and moms to young children. Some past event highlights are challah baking, yoga, beading, and pottery painting.
Contact Ruthie Nussbaum for more information about participating.
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.
