Food for your body.  Food for your soul.  Need a better way to spend your lunch hour?  Join Rabbi Magat for an informal study and discussion session of a selected Torah portion.  Together we will navigate through traditional interpretations and modern applications of our historic teachings.  Bring your lunch and be ready to get a new perspective on Torah. Open to members and non-members and no previous Torah study is required.

High Holy Day tickets were mailed out to all Temple members in good standing (all financial obligations paid through August 2016)!  Be sure to check your mailboxes and call the office if you have any questions.    If you would like to purchase additional tickets for services or register for our FREE children and family services, you may do so by contacting the Temple Administrative Office at 408-292-0939.  

All Temple members in good standing (all financial obligations to the Temple paid through August 2016) were automatically mailed High Holy Days tickets on September 12.  Tickets are valid for the entire High Holy Days season.  Everyone over the age of 13 must have a ticket.  Be sure to bring your ticket and ID to all services, as you will need it to be admitted to the Heritage Theatre.

We can not have the High Holy Days without your help! We are looking for volunteers at each service to help with the following: Greeting, Ticket Checking, Ushering, and Handing Out Prayer Books! We need about 10 volunteers per service and volunteers need to arrive one hour before the service they are helping with.

Our Sisterhood will once again provide a kiddush style break the fast at approximately 6:30 PM on Wednesday, October 12 following our Yom Kippur Services at Heritage Theatre.  To RSVP and/or become a sponsor, click here.

Temple Emanu-El is thrilled to be streaming our High Holiday Services again this year.  You can find the link on our High Holidays page on our website, or by clicking here.
