Need a better way to spend your lunch hour?  Join Rabbi Magat on the fourth Wednesday of each month for an informal study and discussion session of a selected Torah portion. 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.

We will have a guest speaker join us for our Labor in the Pulpit service on our patio.  Our speaker will be talking about worker's issues and worker's justice. More information coming soon!

It's that time of year again!  Our High Holy Days booklets have been mailed.  If you would like to purchase additional tickets for services, register for our FREE children and family services, order a Yizkor book listing or greeting in Connections, you may do so by mailing in the booklet forms or ordering online.  All the information and links are available here.  If you still have questions, contact the Temple Administrative Office at 408-292-0939.

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.
We look forward to seeing all our volunteers at a volunteer prep class on September 19 at 6:00 PM.

This year the FEMA National Emergency Food and Shelter Board (EFSP) withheld its annual allocation ($775,000 in 2015) to Santa Clara County as it did not meet their criteria used to determine allocations. Because of Santa Clara County's astronomical housing rate we have
many people living in poverty - even if our actual poverty rate is above the federal standard used by EFSP. Our County's EFSP Board is seeking an appeal, but unless that appeal is approved, Jewish Family Services doesn't have the funds ($48,000 in 2015) for our food package program.

We need to collect over 12,000 pounds of kosher food and we need your help to make this happen.  Bring non-perishable items to the donation bins at Temple Emanu-El throughout the month of August.
