Services at Temple Emanu-El feature an evolving blend of traditional and contemporary approaches, time-honored and innovative songs, prayers in Hebrew and English, and community sharing.

Our primary weekly gathering is Friday, 6:00pm-7:00pm, to welcome Shabbat.

Our monthly Family Shabbat services (on the first Friday each month at 5:30pm) are followed by dinner and arts & crafts for kids.

B Mitzvah Kallah
Shabbat, May 31st 10:00a to 12:00p
This is an opportunity for students in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade and their families to attend a Shabbat service geared for learners! As we worship together, Rabbi Mangold will explain the meaning of the prayers and reflect on the choreography of the B Mitzvah service. Students will hear the Torah chanted and see firsthand what it will be like at their upcoming B Mitzvah celebration. Following the service, families will enjoy lunch while Rabbi Mangold explains the process and logistics of becoming B Mitzvah here at Temple Emanu-El. Shelby Chapper-Pierce will be there as well to discuss event planning. During this time, students will create an art project related to their B Mitzvah, while parents speak more in depth with Rabbi Mangold about supporting their children through this process.
