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.
Brunch & Learn
Curious about Artificial Intelligence but not sure where to start? Join us for a friendly and easy-to-follow Brunch & Learn about Generative AI—what it is, why people are talking about it, and how it can be useful in everyday life.
Bill Fowlkes will explain the basics in plain language, share real-world examples, and offer simple tips for getting better answers from AI tools. He will also give a live demonstration of Ask Rabbi Ari, a Jewish learning tool that uses AI.
No background in technology or Jewish study is needed. Whether you are already trying AI tools or simply want to understand what they do, this session will be welcoming, practical, and fun.
Come with your questions and curiosity as we explore how this new technology can support learning, creativity, and connection. Please bring a smartphone or laptop if you would like to try some AI tools during the session.
Join us May 31st, 11 am in the Youth Lounge at Temple Sinai.
