Visit Temple Emanu-El

One of the qualities we cherish most at Temple Emanu-El is our reputation as an open and welcoming synagogue. Many members have told us that from the moment they walked through our doors, they felt a sense of warmth and belonging — and we are committed to continuing that tradition.

At the same time, the safety and security of our members, guests, and staff must remain a top priority. 

If you are not a member of Temple Emanu-El:

• Please fill out the form below to register in advance before attending services so we can have a list of expected visitors.
• Upon arrival, guests will be asked to present ID. We understand some people do not carry identification on Shabbat, and that is understandable — we will assess each situation on a case-by-case basis.
• If someone has not registered and does not have an ID, they will not automatically be turned away — but we will speak with them, ask a few questions, and ensure there is a clear and appropriate reason for their visit.
