Visit us at www.tetucson.org and explore Arizona's first and most vibrant synagogue.
Temple Emanu-El is the oldest, largest and most dynamic Reform synagogue in Tucson.
The Hebrew term of temple is Beit Knesset, which means house of assembly, a building where Jewish people get together. Our synagogue is many things for our congregants: a holy place to worship God, a center to learn about and experience the amazingly rich Jewish tradition, a comfortable location to meet and make friendships, and a working center of living Judaism. It is also a place of creative exploration, where we can seek that which moves and excites us religiously and intellectually.
There are many opportunities at Temple Emanu-El for Jewish education, prayer, social action and social interaction. We are working hard to make our temple a warm, welcoming,vibrant house of prayer and study, of family and friendship.
We embrace and support all Jews who seek a caring community that constantly works to improve the world through the joy and celebration of Judaism.
Creating the most dynamic and exciting place to learn, pray and practice Judaism in Arizona is the vision of Temple Emanu-El. We are the heart of a great evolution taking place in Jewish life - a Reform Judaism that respects and studies Torah at the highest level...and makes it real, present and relevant in contemporary life.
Temple Emanu-El is firmly centered in Judaism's magnificent tradition. We embrace the finest, most creative expressions of the Jewish mind, soul and spirit. Our congregation embodies the Jewish search for meaning, holiness and God in a complicated world.
Temple Emanu-El enthusiastically brings Jewish living and learning to everyone, from the youngest Torah-Tot to the wisest elder, from the most committed Jew to the most distant. Judaism is more than a way of life; it is the finest way to express goodness, holiness and blessing.
