New Prayer Books

Time for a change? Time to change Prayer books that is…In August, Temple Emanu-El will begin using Mishkan Tefillah, the new Prayer book of the Reform movement. During our summer casual Shabbat Services, we will be discussing and studying the new Prayer book and ways that its use will enhance our spiritual experience. Each week’s lesson will be made available, in shortened form, on our website. On Friday, August 15th at 8PM, we will be dedicating our new prayer book. This book is a generous donation from Temple Emanu-El’s Brotherhood.
