Temple Emanuel of Tempe Family Sukkot Service

In August, Temple Emanuel of Tempe (TEOT) debuted its new “Young Families Program” with more than 100 people attending its first Tot Shabbat program of the year, followed up by last week’s successful shofar-blowing program event at South Mountain.

Rabbi Olshein said, “Participation in age-appropriate High Holy Days’ services is critical to identity formation for Jewish children.  At Temple Emanuel, we work hard to create meaning-filled worship balanced with fun memories our children will remember.  Allowing this kind of open-to-the-community worship allows us to share the joy of practicing Judaism with our smallest worshipers so they will always love being, and doing, Jewish.”

Sukkot activities at TEOT begin with a both all-ages and Young Families events at Temple Emanuel on Sunday, October 9th, from 2:00-4:00pm.  Online RSVPs requested by 10/6.
