Submission deadline is Friday, September 12, 2025.
At this time of year, we may say to one another, “May we each enjoy a sweet and fulfilling year ahead!” Yet even in the midst of celebrations, we know our lives will also contain pain and grief. Sometimes we move along the spectrum of human emotions rapidly, traveling from one emotional pole to the other without being able to breathe.
At those moments, some turn to God. Others rely on the support of friends and acquaintances. Whatever your affinity or need, may you find comfort in this religious community, Temple Emanuel, where so many before us have found strength to carry on despite the difficulties we face.
Look at the people around you. See, in their very eyes, the willingness to serve as a staff and support. Now, search within, and find the openness for someone around you. Just as you may need them, they will certainly need you. And this is our bond: the covenant of mutuality within this community. May we always find it here.

Visit our Judaica Shop for ritual items and gifts for the High Holy Days.
The Temple Emanuel Judaica Shop is a small business that donates all its proceeds right back to the Temple. Temple Emanuel’s Judaica Shop carries a beautiful line of competitively-priced tallitot, perfect for Bar and Bat Mitzvah and the High Holy Days. We also carry a great selection of life cycle cards. Have you thought about participating in blowing of the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur services? We have a large selection of shofars for you to choose from. Stop by on
a Friday night before services to check it out!
Tashlich Services
Join us for this meaningful ritual as we symbolically cast away our sins.
Join us at the water’s edge for the tradition of Tashlich. With birdseed provided by Temple Emanuel and a few songs, we symbolically let go of our shortcomings and the things that hold us back.
This outdoor gathering is open to all ages and is especially meaningful for families with children. Please dress comfortably for warm weather and a gravel landscape.
