Temple Emanuel offers many ways to become involved in Temple and Jewish life through a variety of active committees. We always welcome new committee members along with new ideas. One of these committees is looking just for you!
Joint Religious School
L’dor vador – passing Judaism down to the next generation – is one of our highest Jewish values. We need the help of our community to make policy decisions for our school and support its special activities, including holiday celebrations, with volunteer work.
Library
Our Library Committee works to maintain our book collection for both adults and children; cataloging new and donated books as well as recommending new purchases when funds are available.
Membership
Do you enjoy meeting and greeting new people? We are definitely looking for friendly faces who thrive on welcoming new families and singles to our Jewish community. Let us know if you’d like to help bring joy and befriend our newest potential members.
Mitzvah Corps
Formerly known as the Caring Committee, this great group of volunteers help prepare meals for all kinds of special times when one of our members is in need. If you like to help people and love to cook, this committee is calling your name!
Mt. Nebo Cemetery
We have the honor of still owning and maintaining the Mt. Nebo Cemetery established in 1851. Dedicated volunteers watch over and take care of the cemetery; make policy decisions about the cemetery and assist Jewish families who wish to make Mt. Nebo their final resting place. This is a very humbling and meaningful commitment to one of the Temple’s committees.
Ritual
This is a focused group of Temple volunteers who along with Rabbi Linda establish the spiritual and ritual climate of the congregation. The committee’s primary focus is on Shabbat and High Holy Days. If you are creative, flexible, willing to explore progressive as well as traditional concepts, and called to prayer as an important part of your Jewish journey, please help guide us with your heart and your love of Torah.
Security Committee
This committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Trustees regarding congregational safety and security measures.
