Volunteer Opportunities

There are so many great ways to get involved in Temple Emanuel. Our committees and boards are filled with dedicated volunteers, who help to make our community the best it can be! Social Justice is another way to get involved, from our annual Big Sunday to our work with One LA. Our Israel Matters program is an ongoing effort to make our Jewish homeland a part of our everyday lives. If you are looking to strengthen the bonds with our community, then you may choose to join one of our Chavurot, or engage in a transformative Temple Emanuel Family Retreat.

We value our volunteers at Temple Emanuel and recognize them with well-deserved honors throughout the year. Two highlights of the year are our Aishet Chayil (Woman of Valor) Luncheon and our Annual Purim Ball honoring congregants who have made a significant impact on our community.
