Where Warmth & Majesty Meet

Established in 1845, Temple Emanu-El is more than an architectural landmark, a storied synagogue, and leader within Reform Judaism. It’s also a caring community whose members are devoted to lifelong learning, spiritual growth, and social justice.

“It has been said that there are two ways of spreading light—by being the candle or the mirror that reflects it. Temple Emanu-El has kept aflame the candle of the Jewish faith. And its membership has reflected the highest traditions of your heritage.” ~ President Lyndon Johnson, 1965

Four members of the Temple Emanu-El community, wearing aprons labeled Tikkun Olam of Temple Emanu-El, smile and pose together in a kitchen. Two wear name tags that read Noah and Lesley.
