We open the door for Elijah too late in our Passover Seder. According to the Haggadah, we invite the Prophet Elijah into our homes after the meal is over. This is too late! By the end of the seder meal, we've told the story of our exodus from Egypt, and all Elijah gets to enjoy is his cup of wine. The Prophet Elijah represents all who have been cast out, and we open the doors of our homes as a symbol that we would welcome anyone. The problem is that the food has been cleared, and the story is nearly over when we welcome newcomers inside. Don't wait until it's too late to invite others to your seder. I know that to invite others into your home for Seder can seem daunting. That's why we created a service at TE to connect congregants with other members looking to host or be hosted. We want to be your matchmaker and connect hosts with guests and guests with hosts. If you want to host others or be hosted for seder, fill out your seder "profile" below so we can match you with others in … [Read more...]

Interfaith Families
Temple Emanu-El is a sacred space for Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and interfaith families. We embody the value of audacious hospitality and welcome you into our home to be part of the family. Message from Rabbi Anderson Hello! My name is Rabbi Spike Anderson and I am the Senior Rabbi here at Temple Emanu-El. In the Torah, our patriarch Abraham sets the example for us with his tent that was open on all four sides. Tradition has it that he deliberately kept his tent open so that he could see folks traveling from many different directions, and rush to welcome them with open arms and hospitality. At Temple Emanu-El we know that every journey looks different, and some partners who walk together did not start in the exact same spot. We welcome interfaith families into our tent with the hopes that you will find comfort, rejuvenation, reflection and strength in our amazing community. Many other religions proselytize, meaning that they seek to convert people into their … [Read more...]
Torah for the Sake of Torah
Every Saturday morning at about 8:45 a.m. you will find a group milling about the Colbert Library. Some will chat about services the night before, others about sports, and others about the problems of the world. Some will grab a hot coffee or tea, others a little nosh, and still others will pull up into their regular (or not so regular) seat and enjoy a few moments of quiet. There will be welcoming smiles, morning greetings, and an amazing energy builds. At 9:00 a.m. a member of the clergy team will say “Shabbat Shalom” and we will dive into the portion of the week. One of our newest and youngest Torah study regulars, a 7th-grader who, after fulfilling her required attendance has continued to join us almost weekly, shared with me a beautiful reason as to why Torah study means so much to her. She pointed out that, when at school, she has to raise her hand and be called upon, that she feels pressure to know all the answers, and that the topics aren’t always her favorite. However, when … [Read more...]
Who are the Jewish People?
Jewish-ness is not something easily determined. Are we a race? A religion? A nationality? An ethnicity? Or, maybe, we are all of these things or something else entirely. We have been questioning how to categorize the Jewish people for thousands of years, and the recent executive order by the President has brought this question to the fore once again. In the early days of the Reform Movement, back in the 19th century, our founders declared that the Jewish people were only a religious group. The earliest Zionists then firmly stated that Jews represent a nationality. These, however, are only two opinions of the thousands on the core question, “who are the Jewish people?” In America, it is easy to forget that half of the global Jewish population does not come from a European background. The vast majority of American Jewry is associated with Ashkenazi descent that we take the diversity of the Jewish people for granted. It’s difficult to claim that the Jewish people are a single ethnic group … [Read more...]
