We exist under the concept of a shared leadership, fulfilling the ancient principle of Kol Yisrael arayvim zeh ba-zeh — "All Israel is responsible for one another."

Our staff includes Rabbi Stacy K. Offner, Rabbi Emeritus Richard A. Levine, Cantorial Soloist Sandra Messenger, Keyboardist Herb Malamut, Educational Director Errol Schlessinger, and Acting Early Childhood Director Ellyce Eisenberg. Our lay leadership is headed by President Ari Levine, Vice Presidents Ellen Hans, Steve Gitler and Eva Klein. We are an affiliated Reform congregation with the Union of Reform Judaism.

Our worship services are both spiritual and learning experiences. We offer an outstanding educational program for both children and adults. Our extensive art and cultural programs are highlighted by the annual Lois G. Levine Arts Weekend and Shabbat Shirah. We have adult and youth retreats, various age-complementary youth groups, an active Sisterhood and Men's Club, and a vital seniors group. We hold a monthly, original "Healing Service," promote an accomplished social action program, and offer strong support for Israel and world Jewry. We are constantly searching for new ideas and programs that will deepen our entire community's commitment to Judaism and the Jewish people.

We take special pride in the fact that many in our leadership, both lay and professional, have been a part of our congregational family since childhood. At the same time, we have welcomed all into our family — Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and interfaith couples. We are so confident that our congregation is such a special place that we recommend to prospective members that they experience other congregations, as well, before they make a final choice. Our experience reaffirms that a special sense of kinship, a welcoming environment, and a feeling of belonging pervade Adath Emanu-El.
