Be Part of Our 20/20 Vision Today!

Our 20/20 project is an exciting endeavor to reinvigorate the Temple Emanu-El campus that reflects our commitment to the future while staying true to our past. This $4.20 million renovation will include new Sanctuary seating and flooring, a complete facelift of the exterior façade, new hardscape and softscape surrounding the exterior and inner courtyard – areas that have been significantly untouched since originally built in 1954.  In addition to the aesthetic updates to our campus and enhancements to various spaces creating increased utilization and flexibility, several safety and security upgrades will also be made.
