Please Sponsor an Oneg Shabbat!
Our Temple Emanuel Oneg Shabbat dessert receptions are opportunities for our community to come together and enjoy the sweetness of Shabbat with conversation and refreshments every Friday after services.
We invite you to sponsor an Oneg Shabbat in honor of your family and friends. Gather your friends, Chavurot, social groups, committees, clubs, or family to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, weddings, graduations, new babies, a loved one’s accomplishments, or any happy occasion - or just to celebrate being alive!
It is a wonderful way to celebrate any special occasion with your Temple Emanuel community!

Shabbat Morning Worship
Led by TEOT Member Sue Dermer
10:30 am | Live and Interactive on Zoom
*ONLINE ONLY*
Members, please see your weekly Shabbat email for the Zoom link.
During our informal (and interactive) Shabbat Morning worship, we will dig deeper into the meaning of our traditional prayers and liturgical music, while including modern, interpretative versions that will challenge our understanding of our tradition, as well as a short Torah reading. Each week, we will include a prayer for healing and recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish in case you would like to share your personal prayers for those we love who are struggling and those we have lost.
This service works well for both the inexperienced pray-er as well as those well-versed in our prayer tradition (all liturgy, including English readings and transliteration, will be projected on screen).

Want to Get Involved in Climate Justice Work through the Reform Movement?
| |
|
Through the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism, this year, thousands of members of URJ congregations sent messages urging the White House and Environmental Protection Agency to cut climate pollution.
How is the EPA responding to our call?
Join us on Thursday, 11/6, at 3:00pm (AZ time) to engage with Tomás Carbonell, a Deputy Assistant Administrator at the EPA.
Tomás has deep experience developing regulations that cut carbon emissions and his leadership is key to creating even stronger standards. Our National Campaign Leaders will share the work we have done this year to show public support for climate regulations, and we will hear from them about next steps in their efforts to cut climate pollution.
All are welcome, regardless of your experience and/or any actions you've taken with the Power for Purpose Campaign. We need a full Zoom Room to show EPA leadership the support they have for taking bold action on climate issues.
Click BELOW to REGISTER TODAY to secure YOUR spot for this opportunity to advocate for climate justice!
Questions? Contact Sue Ochs or Rabbi Olshein for more information.
