Temple Emanuel Memorial Park

Our tradition tells us that whenever Jews gather together as a new community, their
first priorities are to create a school and, then, to form a synagogue. After all, it is through education and community prayer that a kahal assures its continuity. Once the kahal has established these necessities of Jewish life, it turns its energies to establishing a cemetery, asserting the intention to carry on as a community for generations to come.

From its earliest days, the Temple Emanuel community has been committed not only to our
living members but also to honoring the memory of those who are no longer with us. In support of that commitment, our congregation created-and continues to sustain- Temple Emanuel Memorial Park, which was consecrated in 1959 as the cemetery for our kahal, our congregation.
