Focus Groups

Celebrating the past and looking towards the future…
         
As Temple Emanu-El celebrates its 30th birthday, this is the perfect opportunity to reflect upon where we have been and where we will go into the future.  We invite you to participate in one of the many focus groups being conducted at Temple Emanu-El.
 
Help us discover: 

• how we are strongest as a congregation
• ways that we can strengthen our community
• how to effectively provide interesting programs and activities
• how to best allocate our resources
• our ritual behaviors and standards

 
Your input is vital and enables us to continue to shape the congregation so that we all have a voice in our strategic planning process.  
 
All we need now is YOU.
 
Please share your thoughts and ideas with us following our Annual Meeting. Babysitting will be provided by reservation to ext. 204.  Contact Beverly Brown at bbrown@temple-emanuel.net or 770-395-1340 x255 to sign up or for more information.

Belonging Everywhere Program

Temple Emanu-El, along with the Adult Education Committee of Congregation Or Hadash, is one of several Atlanta sponsors of a special diversity program being conducted at The Weber School Cafeteria, 6751 Roswell Road, at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, May 27.  Led by Adam McKinney and Daniel Banks, Ph.D., the program seeks to uncover the struggle to stay connected to our heritages while participating in vibrant Jewish communities wherever we find them.  It addresses key questions:  can we belong everywhere; can we create communities that welcome all?  A special film produced in Ghana in 2006 will be shown, "We are all One:  The Jews of Sefwi Wiawso".  The program is free and all are welcome.
