We are a Reform Jewish community with an egalitarian, diverse and inclusive community.  We open our hearts and our doors to all those seeking to find their Jewish home, participate in a sacred community or broaden their understanding of Judaism. 

We invite and encourage you to participate in our spiritual and lively services and attend our unique and meaningful community events.  At Temple Emanu-El, we strive to have something for everyone across all ages, genders, races, sexual orientation and abilities.             

We are eager and excited to get to know you! 

NEW MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY!

Temple Emanu-El of Edison Membership Across the Miles - A special category just for the 2020-21 year! Individuals whose primary residence is more than 100 miles from Edison, New Jersey may become a virtual member of Temple Emanu-El for the 2020-21 year.  The privileges of this membership category include receiving congregational newsletters, login access to Shulcloud website, virtual pastoral care and virtual life cycle events by clergy, the opportunity to serve on temple committees, and the support of our Caring Community. Individuals would also have access to all other benefits that are open to the entire community such as religious services, Torah study, adult education programs, and virtual social programming. The cost of Membership Across the Miles is a minimum $180/year per member unit.  This is a huge savings since our current membership fee for a two adult couple is $2426. Current Temple Emanu-El members and individuals with multiple residences, one of which is within 100 miles of Edison, are not eligible for this category.

We Are TEE - Jews of All Hues

Cantorial Intern, David Fair, along with TEE congregants   Marvette Likier, Amy Eng, and Eileen Watt spoke about their experiences as Jews of Color, and then participated in a Q&A. This event was informative, emotional, and thoughtful.  We are grateful to get to learn together.  Click the image below to watch a recording of the event.

We Are TEE - Jews By Choice

Keynote Speaker, Alexandra Wittner, along with Tee Congregants Kathy Liss, MJ Weston, Michael Simons, Jo-Ann Hamel, Ryan Mulcahy, Danny Rodriguez, and Therese Jaffe spoke about their experiences that brought them to become a Jew by choice. This event was moving and interesting,  and taught us how even though the destination might be similar, the journey can be quite different.  Click the image below to watch a recording of the event.
