Drawing of Temple Emeth teachers and students

At Temple Emeth we are proud of the educational network established to enrich our children from their youngest years through Bar-Bat Mitzvah and beyond. With creative and talented Nursery and Educational Directors, a gifted and devoted staff, supportive concerned School Committee, and a vibrant PTA, we are able to offer your children a Jewish Education of real quality.

Nothing is more important to us than that education. When our sages suggested that the world exists and is perpetuated throught the breath of school children studying Torah, they weren't engaging in mere hyperbole. The fact is that Jewish Education, in addition to imparting basic Jewish skills and personal ethical excellence, has also been the fundamental instrument for Jewish survival.

Today, in a rapidly changing and morally confusing age, the need to give our children a religiious education which can anchor them in values, practices, and ideas hallowed by thousands of years has never been more critical. It is a challenging but great task. Together we can realize its accomplishment.

Sincerely,
Rabbi Alan Turetz

Living Holocaust Commemoration

The Temple Emeth Family Education Committee has launched a unique project, the "Temple Emeth Living Holocaust Commemoration".

This project creates a collage of photographs and documents from our Temple families to tie our vanished people with those who survive today. It will present Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust to form a meaningful remembrance of those who were taken from us. By including even recent photographs of survivors and their families, we recognize our present day community with an eye to the future.

The display will be a place where friends will stop and recall their parents and grandparents, while discussing their current families and our community's obligations for the future.

Come see our progress.
