Welcome to
Temple Emanu-El
Temple Emanu-El, now celebrating its 50th Anniversary as the Reform congregation of Southeastern Connecticut, strives to be a warm and welcoming Bet Knesset~House of Assembly, an inspiring and uplifting Bet Tefilah~House of Prayer, and an engaging and enlightening Bet Midrash~House of Study for people of all ages and backgrounds. We invite you to join us in our full range of services and programs.
In 2010, our congregation will have a rare opportunity to celebrate two cornerstone events: the 50th year of our beloved Temple; and the 30th year our widely admired Rabbi Rosenberg has been our spiritual leader.
