Worship
Services at Temple Emanu-El are connective, creative, and inspirational. Through using the Reform Movement prayer book (Mishkan Tifillah), our clergy strive to create a service that includes all who come through our doors. We have many members from all sorts of backgrounds and traditions and our clergy dedicate themselves to making sure everyone feels welcome.
Our services include musical instruments which we believe elevates the soul and creates a more prayerful environment. All services are conducted in both Hebrew and English. All Hebrew portions are available in transliteration (Hebrew written out in English letters) for all of our prayer books.
We strive to create meaningful services that speak to everyone’s soul. Here are just a few different Shabbat services we offer throughout the year (check out our calendar to find out when!)
Shabbat Alive!
Shabbat Alive is our once a month special music service. Each month we bring in professional musicians who create a joyous, energetic sound for all ages. We dance, we sing, and enjoy our time together!
Tot Shabbat
A short service with our clergy followed by a special activity is sure to excite your little ones! Geared toward ages 6 and under, Tot Shabbat is a great way to introduce your children to Judaism, and meet other young families in our community!
Shabbat B’Shir
Our own choir of community members lift their voices in prayer and inspire the community to join along!
Shabbat Under the Stars
During the summer, relax in a the cool evening breeze which is sure to transport you to summer camp sitting around a bonfire. Relax, take in the beauty of the outdoors & enjoy the peacefulness that nature offers.
