Welcome to Temple Emanu-El's online holiday celebration. In this year of new ways to experience these sacred weeks, we offer a number of ways to include you in prayer and community.
AS YOU PREPARE
The month of Elul is all about preparing for the intensity of the Days of Awe. Think of it as a warm-up for the spiritual marathon ahead. At Temple Emanu-El, we offer a variety of learning opportunities throughout Elul as a personal check-in.
