Office volunteers are still needed!
We so appreciate those of you who have already offered to help us in the office . . . more now than ever! While we work to schedule and train those who have already indicated their interest, we are still looking to fill a few slots during the week - have time during the day on Tuesdays or Wednesdays? Let us know!

I-HELP - URGENT NEED
Sundays 2023
*NEW DATES*
Volunteer to Feed the Hungry in 2023!
I-HELP is an acronym for Interfaith Housing Emergency Lodging Program. It is a Tempe Community Action Agency program that partners with several faith communities, clubs, and organizations to combat homelessness. Temple Emanuel is responsible for planning and preparing dinners and lunches for the first two Sundays of each month.
Jim Flegenheimer, Temple Emanuel I-HELP coordinator, is looking for volunteers (specifically, groups of individuals) to cook and serve food (children are welcome, but should be 12 or older) on the following Sundays during 2023. Specific locations in Tempe will be provided by Jim when your volunteer day is confirmed.

Please consider volunteering your time to perform this mitzvah! Because of a recent lack of available volunteers, we run the risk of not being able to participate in this mitzvah, so please get the word out, and thank you - your gifts of time and effort are so very appreciated by this community.

Shabbat Morning Torah Study led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein

However, if you would like to own your own copy, please click HERE to purchase your copy directly from the CCAR Press. (The book is also available digitally on Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.)
So, grab a cup of coffee and join us ONLINE at
9:15 am.

Saturday Morning Shabbat Worship led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein
10:30 am | Live and Interactive on Zoom
*ONLINE ONLY*
Meeting ID: 881 7402 8792 | Passcode: Torah
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).
