Shalom and thanks for visiting our Temple Emanu-El website
We are a Reform Jewish Congregation in Rochester, New York. Our members are Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and those drawn to Judaism, including multiracial, LGBTQ+, and interfaith households. We see ourselves as a family, where everyone’s participation is sought and appreciated. We invite you to attend our services and events, and share in our warm, informal approach to Reform Judaism.
Join us to kindle the Hanukkah Lights!
Join us each Hanukkah evening at 6:15 pm (prompt!) for a short but sweet Zoom gathering to light our candles together, sing a song, and share stories – about 15 minutes each night. We will not meet on Zoom on Friday, December 19th. Instead, we will come together at 6:30 for a joint service and Potluck at Etz Chaim.
For more information about Candle Lighting and the Joint Service (and Zoom links), please visit our Calendar.
