As young parents Lee and I needed help in raising our children as Jews. Structure, ritual, education and life cycle support was needed and Temple Emanuel proved to be the answer. What started as an aid for our children led Lee and I into our own search for answers and our own places in the world of Jewish belief. Over 40 years later we are still exploring and refining our relationship with our ancient faith.
At Temple Emanuel we are able to participate, question and continue to grow. We are able to progress in our own individual style and at our own pace. We are surrounded by a congregation of loving and nonjudgmental people. It is a hamish place, it is home.
Our legacy gift allows us to feel that we will be able to provide that environment that nurtures us to future generations.
