Family Ed

Welcome Families!

Families come in all shapes and sizes! Our congregation strives to be a warm, welcoming community for ALL. Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in our Family Education offerings. Family Education at Temple Emanuel sponsors both community and school-based initiatives in order to encourage spiritual and religious growth in our families and help build connections within our community.

The goals of Family Education are to:

  • Involve family members in their children’s Jewish education from the earliest stages
  • Empower parents to become Jewish models and teachers for their children by providing skills and knowledge
  • Establish contexts for lifelong learning that will impact the family
  • Strengthen the home as a center of Jewish life

Family Education Committee

The Family Education Committee includes both congregants and professional staff members who work to develop, define and support Family Education efforts and programs within the synagogue. The Family Education Committee sponsors both community and school based initiatives.
