Welcome to Temple Emanuel!
We are a warm, friendly, Reform congregation, located in Kensington, Maryland. Temple Emanuel, the oldest Reform Congregation in Montgomery County, was formally organized with 28 member families in August 1952, and affiliated with the Reform Movement in March 1953. Rabbi Leon Adler became our first full-time rabbi in July 1953, and he continued to serve the congregation until his death 35 years later. In 1988, Temple Emanuel installed its second spiritual leader, Rabbi Warren Stone.
The congregation is in many respects a partnership between its members and its professional staff. Neither could function without the other. Volunteers serve on Temple committees dealing with the range of Temple activities: fund raising, publicity, the Religious School, the Early Childhood Center, buildings and grounds, religious services, adult education, social action, Green Shalom and others, as well as Women of Reform Judaism and the Temple Brotherhood. For our teenage members there is KESTY, with a youth adviser and its own lounge on the lower level. Whatever the talents or interests you bring with you, there is a place for you in the Temple family.
Together with Rabbi Warren Stone, Cantor Rosalie Boxt, Religious School Educator Dr. Itzik Eshel, Early Childhood Director Madeline Lowitz Gold, and Executive Director Susan Neiman, we welcome you to join in our services and activities.
