e at Congregation Emanu-El believe that Reform Judaism encourages an ongoing search for meaning, brings us together as a community, and inspires a journey of learning and living.
At Congregation Emanu-El:
- Our children and adult members experience Jewish learning as essential and indispensible.
- When we study Torah, we learn values that are relevant, meaningful and inspiring and that transform our daily lives.
- We emphasize a whole-person learning experience that engages the intellectual, emotional, physical, social and spiritual dimensions of every student.
- We create a learning environment that is both an individual and family-centered experience, creating a synagogue community in which we live the Judaism we learn.
- Jewish learning is open-minded, accepting and pluralistic, respecting the diverse beliefs and ways of living of our congregants.
- Jewish values imbue all that we do as a community and as individuals.
Reform Jewish learning at Congregation Emanu-El is a way of:
- Building and strengthening community.
- Finding one’s place in the historical and developing traditions of Judaism.
- Awakening to a greater understanding of self in relation to God.
- Expanding horizons, encouraging action and motivating people to engage in the work of tikkun olam (repairing the world).
- Empowering us with greater confidence in our Jewish identity.
