Young Adult Programming
Update – Nov 5, 2020
We can still be together while practicing social distancing (or as we like to call it, “physical distancing”)! Congregation Emanu-El’s Young Adults are excited to present you with a wide variety of virtual offerings.
You’re invited to our programs and events tailor-made for the Young Adult Community (20s & 30s- programming is open to all 21+) and our mid-30s & 40s group. Please check back often as we update this page with new events regularly.
Join or renew your Emanu-El membership at any time. Subscribe to the Young Adult Newsletter by logging into your MyEmanu-El portal and select My Settings from the drop-down menu at the top right corner where your name is listed.

Tutor K-5 Student with Other Young Adults
Looking for a meaningful way to give back during shelter-in-place? Join other young adults (20s & 30s) in tutoring a struggling K-5 student for an hour a week through the Jewish Coalition for Literacy (JCL). We are looking to find a cohort of 10-12 young adults to volunteer weekly and come together regularly to build community and discuss best practices for tutoring. Register below to be part of this impactful cohort and to learn more about the volunteering process!

Emanu-El 30s/40s Group: A group for adults in their 30s and 40s, we regularly come together in meaningful ways to have fun, develop meaningful relationships, and deepen our Jewish identity through spiritual, educational, social, and service oriented programming. Most events are open to congregants and non-congregants, but certain events are congregant-only. For more information on events in this group contact Rachel Melman.
