The temple is open to all who are committed to exploring Judaism: parents and their children, people of all sexual orientations, couples where both are Jewish and couples where one - or both - is not, people with extensive Jewish knowledge and beginners. We welcome everyone to worship with us.

The mission of the Temple, as stated in its bylaws, is "to provide a welcoming atmosphere wich encourages Jewish spirituality, learning, and community, and to share these values with others." Inclusion is a core belief of the members of Temple Emanuel, and we extend a truly welcoming hand to all.
