Our Services
Sanctuary Services
The core of Temple Emanu-El’s worship experience.
Pre-Kol Nidre Meditation and Kol Nidre
Before our pre-fast meal, we will have the opportunity to gather to set our intentions for Yom Kippur.
Simulcasts in the Tent
Worship together while outside in the tent watching the service broadcast from the Sanctuary. The Simulcast Service is a participatory service with machzorim, visits from the clergy, and shofar blasts.
Yom Kippur Discussion Groups
Enrich your Yom Kippur experience during a discussion group covering a wide range of topics including Israel, Jewish texts, and contemporary issues.
Kulanu/Intergenerational Service
This unique worship experience is designed as a prayer option for those families with students in grades 2-7.
Healing Service
On Yom Kippur, our clergy grounded in our Jewish tradition will lead a meditative service that focuses on the healing of mind, body, and spirit.
Tiny Tot
It is a lively, celebratory experience intended to bring the themes and meaning of the High Holy Days to young ones and their families.
Yizkor and Neilah
Yizkor is a reflective memorial service to remember and honor our loved ones who have died and Neilah concludes Yom Kippur.

What types of worship services does Temple Emanu-El offer for the High Holy Days?
Book of Remembrance
Each year Temple Emanu-El publishes a Yom Kippur Book of Remembrance that contains the names of beloved departed members of our families whose memories we cherish and wish to honor at this sacred time.
When we rise to recite the Kaddish during our Yom Kippur services, or when you light a memorial candle in their memory on Erev Yom Kippur at home we will be strengthened as a community, as one congregational family.
May we recall our loved ones’ hugs and kisses and the love and affection they bestowed on us. May we recall their teachings and their examples that guide us even when they are not physically with us. May their memory be a blessing!
