Young Adults
Emanu El Young Professionals

“I Slept Through Sunday School, Now What?”
|
The time has come for a bold new step in the development of Emanu El’s commitment to our Young Professionals.
We want Emanu El to be a place where young adults come to find friends, to engage in study, to network for jobs, to have fun, to celebrate the Sabbath, to volunteer in the outside community together and so much more. We want to be a comfortable place for the young adult, age 22 and newly out of college and the young adult couple, age 37 with two kids.
We understand that an undertaking of this magnitude will have highs and lows in its infancy, but we believe in those famous ancient Jewish words of advice, “Build It and Young Adults will come.” Look out for the information as it comes into your home.
Join us for events. If you have children or grandchildren who are looking for just such an environment, send their information our way.
We have created a new and enthusiastic Young Adult Board,
and they are ready to help make this a synagogue where young adults will thrive.
