Sunday, August 23 2:00 pm, Weinberg Auditorium
Friday, August 28 5:30 pm, Greer Social Hall We couldn’t think of a better way to kick-off the ending of summer and the introduction of fall, then having an Open House pizza dinner to welcome Temple Emanuel’s new and future members. Come and find out about all of the amazing events, programs, and resources that our community has to offer, while getting to know each other better.
Join Temple Emanuel and our Reform partners for an evening of havdallah, study, prayer, chanting from the Book of Eicha, and a chance to connect with one another to imagine together a more just and compassionate California and a world redeemed. The service will be led in part by Cantor Lizzie Weiss, along with many other Reform clergy and lay leaders, and will also include a Text Study with Dean of Hebrew Union College's Los Angeles Campus, Dr. Joshua Holo. RSVP to Rabbi Joel Simonds at: RabbiSimonds@unisyn.org.
Beverly Hills International Music Festival July 31 – August 9 Temple Emanuel is proud to be a sponsor and host for the Twelfth Annual Beverly Hills International Music Festival, "Music around the World," featuring dazzling performances of great classical music by world-renowned soloists, and budding new professionals.

The smash-hit musical show that has been all around the world is now back at our very own Temple Emanuel! Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in glorious, full-screen technicolor, complete with subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along and free magic moments fun pack! Then of course there is the famous fancy-dress competition in which everyone who has come in costume is invited onto the stage to show off their fantastic tailoring skills. Fancy dress is not obligatory, but highly recommended! We will have a special guest judge, so be sure and dress to impress, get those vocal chords warmed up, and hurry down for the perfect day out. Tickets are $20/adults and $10/kids. To purchase tickets, visit: tebh.org/Music.

Our Temple Family As an inclusive community, Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills is proud of the Supreme Court as they declared same-sex marriage legal in all 50 States on Friday, June 26. Speaking on behalf of our clergy, please find Rabbi Laura Geller’s statement below about the ruling and truly historical moment… Love Wins! It is a real shehechiyanu moment. I am proud to be part of a religious community that has helped us to reach this day. As we take this step forward, it is also important to take a look back, to see just how far we truly have come: It is actually extraordinary to see so much change in our own lifetimes. The first lesbian marriage in which I officiated was in 1995. Though legal marriage was not an option, the partners wanted their relationship to be blessed by our tradition because they believed that this is the inheritance of every loving Jewish couple. Years later, they reaffirmed their vows in another ceremony when gay marriage was legalized in California. It was at their second ceremony that I truly understood the significance of the words, “By the power vested in me by the State of California.” Now all rabbis anywhere in the country can invoke the power vested in them by the state in which the marriage takes place, and declare loving partners married in accordance with the laws of their state, and our Jewish faith. Yes, this is the inheritance of every loving Jewish couple. For Reform Judaism, and our Congregation, gay marriage is not a violation of religious principle; rather, it is a proud expression of the truth that every human being is created in the image of God. Shehechiyanu indeed! For a full look back at how far we have come, visit: tebh.org/Love-Wins.

Temple Emanuel Schools Jewish Education for All Ages
Education is one of the pillars of our congregation. We offer outstanding, diverse programs that reflect our true commitment to lifelong learning at Temple Emanuel.
Early Childhood Center Starting at two years and two months
Our Temple Emanuel Early Childhood Center provides children with a nurturing Jewish environment designed to stimulate curiosity, learning, and imagination. We offer a broad range of activities carefully designed for preschoolers and work closely with parents to maximize the unique potential of each child. NAEYC Accredited Our Early Childhood Center program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Only 8 percent of early childhood center programs nationally are NAEYC accredited. 2015-2016 Registration Our registration for the school year 2015-2016 has limited space available. We are currently making appointments for families to tour our center. For more information, contact: Stacy@tebh.org or 310.276.9776.
Religious School
Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade Temple Emanuel Religious School is focused on building a confident Jewish community around its students.

Our approach to Jewish education centers on an experiential and project-based environment where all students are actively engaged in “Living Judaism.” For more information, contact: Registrar@tebh.org or 310.409.2950.
