Message from Our RabbiEmanu El means "God is with us." At Temple Emanuel, we are creating a sacred community that connects us with one another, with the greater Jewish community in Saint Louis, North America, the globe, and with God. No plaques, no tickets, no barriers. We are a community of people searching for God's presence through sacred action within the framework of progressive Reform Judaism. Our tent is broad and open, welcoming all kinds and styles of families and individuals. We are committed to lifelong Jewish learning, warm, meaning, and participatory worship, and an intimate scale that lets us know one another personally. We invite you to be emanu -- with us. Come laugh, eat, drink in moderation, sing and play music, pray, learn, act in the world, help others, and pursue justice in holy spaces at the appointed times. Come and see for yourself. You are welcome to visit us at any time, even on the High Holy Days. There is always a place for you at Temple Emanuel. |
Worship Schedule
Weekly Shabbat Services
1. Our month starts with our First Friday Service.
First Fridays begin with a community dinner at 6 PM, followed by a creative, participatory, musical worship service at 7 PM. So many members have embraced First Friday; they love knowing that Shabbat dinner, friendly conversation, and an accessible service are waiting.
2. The second Friday of the month features our newest service option, the CelebraTE Shabbat.
These special worship services, whose goal is to connect different generations of our Temple community, are part of the same series as our Sunday CelebraTE family worship. Services start at 7 PM.
3. On the third Friday of each month services start at 8 PM.
Friday regulars have found plenty of rich prayers and blessings in English within the new prayer book of the Reform movement, Mishkan T'filah. We've also seen that a little regular use makes the book much more intuitive. We'll keep using our new prayer book in our familiar ways each third Friday.
4. The fourth Friday of the month brings Supper & Study.
As always, we start with potluck dinner at 6:30 PM and discussion followed by services at 8 PM. This fourth Friday will continue to be our traditional service, using the Union Prayer Book, Chicago Sinai edition (UPB).
Please remember to RSVP to Marilyn Levinson for dinner.
5. Whenever there is a fifth Friday in the month, such as May 29th, this too will be a UPB service at 8 PM.
