WORSHIP

Services at Temple Emanuel follow the traditions of Reform Judaism and use the Mishkan T'filah as the siddur (prayer book). Music and prayers in Hebrew and English are the cornerstones of our services, which typically end with a convivial Oneg Shabbat (social gathering) in our social hall.

 

We particularly encourage children to attend services. They often are given an opportunity to open the Ark doors and otherwise participate in the liturgy. That being said, many generations sit side by side in our Sanctuary, and we also love to host and take care of our senior members.

Starting in 2016, we use the Mishkan Hanefesh as our Machzor for the High Holy Days. These prayer books include beautiful new readings and arguably more accessible language selections.

Kippot and tallitot are available for all who wish to wear them, though their use is not required. Aids are available with advance notice for those with impaired vision or hearing. Shabbat services are available livestreamed on Facebook - you can use the Facebook link on the upper right to go directly there.
