Temple Emanu-El is Going Green  

     Temple Emanu-El is taking steps to reduce waste and to be gentler on our environment. The principle of bal tashchit, a biblical term meaning "thou shalt not destroy," is seen as a call for Jews to be responsible stewards of our God-given resources. Among other things, we are recycling paper, and generally being more vigilant about wastefulness.  One way the congregation can help Temple Emanu-El "go green" is to consider receiving our monthly bulletin online and forego receiving a copy by mail. Those of you who prefer to receive the monthly bulletin by post may contact Ann by phone or email.

Temple Emanu-El Mission Statement  
Temple Emanu-El is a Reform Jewish congregation upholding the traditions of Judaism including Hebrew Language, Tanakh, T'fillot, Mitzvot, Holidays, Customs, Jewish History, and Israel, while empowering members to cultivate their relationship with God and Torah.

The mission of Temple Emanu-El is to cultivate and nurture the love and understanding of Judaism; to provide a warm and caring environment to nurture Judaism; to ensure the future of our Jewish community, commitment to Tikkun Olam, and to strengthen and serve our members.

Temple Emanu-El Vision Statement  

Temple Emanu-El's mission will be accomplished through the following values:

  • Worship: uphold Jewish rituals and traditions.
  • Education & Torah Study: the study of Torah is the foundation of our tradition, and teaches us the Jewish meaning of how to live our lives individually and as a community in an ever changing world. We are dedicated to building and maintaining and understanding with other faith communities through education, study, communication and a respectful exchange of thoughts.
  • Social Action/Advocacy: striving towards Tikkun Olam.
  • Community: to be a warm, caring, and welcoming community which offers support and friendship to the Jewish and non-Jewish community.
