The largest congregation in Northern California, Emanu-El is in strong financial health, with a membership of over 2,200 families. This strength has allowed Emanu-El to innovate and grow throughout its history. The Communications and Marketing Department creates sophisticated vehicles for Emanu-El’s message, ensuring that those vehicles are infused with the organization’s vision and values, and are based on informed, contemporary strategy and vision. The department ensures that Emanu-El is producing clear, effective information that will motivate audiences to engage with the community and orient them to the congregation’s wide array of offerings.
