Holidays

Holidays are a special occasion by definition, and their meaning is not lost at Temple Beth Emet. We don’t just get together for Shabbat and the High Holy Days. Join us at Purim as members of the congregation and guests from all over the world read the megillah in their native language. Help us build and decorate the sukkah at Sukkot, and then step inside to shake the lulav and etrog. At Passover, take your pick from our Community Seder, Women’s Seder, or Children’s Seder, or join us for all three (if you qualify 🙂 ). Dance with the Torah at Simchat Torah, as we unroll the entire scroll and find ourselves dancing with the Torah wrapped around us.

Holidays are always a special time at Temple Beth Emet, but what makes them most special is you.
