About Us

When Temple Emanuel was formed in 1956, it was the first new Reform congregation in St. Louis in 70 years.

As a progressive, Reform Jewish congregation, we are committed to:

• Meeting the needs of our congregational family.
• Providing a welcoming, open sanctuary of worship, encouraging individualism and diversity.
• Cultivating a love of God and an understanding of our Reform Jewish heritage.
• Inspiring a commitment to learning, compassion, and volunteerism.
