Temple Emanuel Review

As a former member of Temple Emanuel I am very disappointed on how temple is now. I grew up there and it was one of my favorite places to be. I felt welcomed and loved there. I was in junior choir and did all of the youth groups. I was on FCTYG board for three years and had my bat mitzvah and went through confirmation. When Rabbi Black became head rabbi it all changed. I didn t feel welcomed anymore. And when I was there and felt welcomed it was because he was on yet another one of his trips. Like I said before My family had been going there for years. My sister wanted to do one of her girls namings done there when she approached Rabbi Black he turned her down because she hadn t paid membership. But all of a sudden when he found out who our dad was it was a whole different story. This is just one of many reasons I will never attend there again.

great congregation. wonderful facility. good folks. thank you.

This is our home away from home. Very large, welcoming community. Clergy is wonderful!

We just love Rabbi Black. Glad he is back from his sabbatical. Temple has something for everyone. Come join and be like family.

Fine building. High quality materials and very well detailed.

This is one of the largest Reform congregations in the United States, but people are very friendly. There are many educational opportunities for kids and adults. There are traditional services as well as less traditional ones. Join a Chavurah (group of people with similar interests). Get involved with Social justice projects. All are welcome regardless of sex, race or sexual orientation.

It was my first time at Temple Emanuel. I attended a St. Martin's Chamber Choir concert that was a Jewish program. The inside of Temple Emanuel is beautiful. I really enjoyed the music too. You could hear both the choir and the instruments perfectly. I wouldn't mind coming here again for other concerts.

Awesome staff really kind and helpful. Prepared me for my Bar-Mitzvah more than I could have imagined.
