Torah Study
This class is an exploration of this week’s Torah portion. Students explore the story and the themes behind this week’s Torah portion. What can we learn from this week’s Torah portion and adapt it to our modern life?
Yoga & Meditation Shabbat
This Shabbat provides opportunities to more fully embody prayer through movement, breathwork, meditation, and song. There will be mat-based and chair-based movement options, time for silent prayer, a brief Torah teaching, and exploration of other prayers.
B’nei Mitzvah
Many Saturday mornings feature a child becoming a B’nei Mitzvah (a child of the commandments).
Family Shabbat
Once a month, Temple Emanuel has family Shabbat. This Shabbat is led by the clergy in conjunction with our religious school children. The Rabbi tells a child appropriate story and the musical settings are kid-friendly.
Themed Shabbat
Several times a year, our Shabbat services surround a special theme. In the past, it has been Rock Shabbat, LGBT Pride Shabbat, Sephardic Shabbat, Yemenite Shabbat, and Classical Reform Shabbat, Israeli Shabbat, and MLK Shabbat.
Tot Shabbat
This service is aimed at the age group of 2-6 years old. The morning features a few child-accessible prayers and activities and the participants all sit on the ground in a circle.
