A letter to the Congregation from our new Temple Emanuel President, Richard Lewit:

Dear Congregants,

I would like to affirm Board Policy with respect to enrollment in the Barbara and Leonard Zimet Religious School. Our school is open to all member families in good standing. This policy is clearly stated on the Religious School enrollment form. Aides are enrollees in our Religious School. We consider the Aide experience an integral part of our community's Religious School education.

Board policy has been and continues to be that when a family chooses to resign their membership, their children are no longer eligible for the privilege of participating in Religious School.

We are saddened when any family chooses to withdraw their support for our multifaceted Congregation. Our commitment remains always to open our doors, regardless of means, to those who sustain and participate in our community.

B’shalom,  Richard Lewit, President, Temple Emanuel

We welcome you with our Open Door Policy.
Join us for an extraordinary family worship experience.
