Temple Emanuel is a vibrant congregation in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Located in McAllen, one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, we are the spiritual home to a diverse and multi-generational congregation. Our members come from varied Jewish backgrounds, and while Temple Emanuel is affiliated with the Union of Reform Judaism, we strive to meet the needs of our traditional members. Temple Emanuel is dedicated to maintaining our Jewish heritage and traditions while respecting the individual's views and religious expression.
Come join us! You're invited to worship with us on Friday nights, Saturday mornings, and for all Jewish holidays.

Announcements
Volunteers needed! We need men and women to to help out with Temple Emanuel's chevra kadisha, an organization which cares for deceased members of the Jewish community. Training will be provided. Please contact Rabbi Rosenberg if you are interested in this mitzvah. For more information about the role of the chevra kadisha, please click here .
Beginning December 4, Kabbalat Shabbat services will begin at 7:00 p.m.
The first and second Friday each month our service will be held in the sanctuary. The third and fourth Friday each month our service will be in the chapel.
We have received and are busy unpacking our 250 new chairs which replace our old and familiar green and blue chairs that served us for many years. The old chairs will be donated to the Salvation Army, but we would also like to offer them to members for their personal use. Please contact the office if you would like to reserve some for yourself.
Due to air-conditioning zones throughout the building, please keep doors closed, especially the gift shop, library, chapel, social hall, and sanctuary doors. Please enter and exit the building through the main doors or through the office. The building has many emergency fire exits, and for many reasons, including security monitoring issues, the emergency exits should only be used in an emergency. And if you should exit the building via an emergency exit in a non-emergency situation, please check to make sure the door latches and locks behind you. Thanks for your cooperation.
We are organizing a Share a Ride service to help congregants who wish to attend services, but do not have a way of getting to Temple Emanuel. We are in the process of compiling a roster of congregants who attend Friday evening and/or Shabbat morning services and would be willing to make it possible for a fellow congregant to attend with them. Please call the Temple office at 686-9432 to register as a driver if you can provide this valuable service or if you are in need of a ride.
The Mitzvah Service Committee is currently helping families in our community and is running short of funds. Please consider making a donation. Click here to read about the role of the Mitzvah Service Committee.
