NEW AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL

B'ahavah - With Love

Discussing the Blessings and Challenges of Multifaith Families

Welcoming your child’s partner into your family is an exciting and potentially nerve-racking moment in your life. How will they blend in? What will your relationship look like? The moment can be even more nuanced when your child’s partner comes from a different faith or tradition. 

Facilitated by Rabbi Fel, Temple Emanu-El’s newest affinity group, B’Ahavah - With Love, seeks to create a safe and welcoming environment to discuss the blessings and challenges of creating multifaith, multigenerational families.

Let us know if you'd like to be part of the conversation by clicking HERE.

Museum Musings

Temple Emanu-El Percelay Museum

The Sound of Silence?  

or…

The Sound and the Fury?

Purim, for me as a child, was a raucous and fun-filled holiday! But why was I allowed to make noise, stamp my feet and do things in synagogue that were forbidden to me all other times that I entered that special space? And again, as I grew older, I learned the answer. The tradition was: to drown out, to erase the name of the arch-villain of the Purim story, Haman.

PASSOVER 5783!

Creating a Meaningful Seder
