Director of Advancement

Temple Emanuel - Denver

 

Background

 

Founded in 1874, Temple Emanuel Denver is a dynamic and inclusive Reform Jewish community with historic roots. Together, as a sacred community, we strengthen and deepen Jewish journeys.


Defining Principles

Our Jewish values provide us with the framework to build on the past, thrive in the present and innovate for future generations.


Together, we rejoice.

Together, we comfort.

Together, we pray.

Together, we learn.

Together, we repair the world.

Together, we seek God in our midst.

 

Temple Emanuel is the largest and oldest synagogue in the Rocky Mountain region, with just under 2,000 member households. We are a Reform congregation in the mainstream of liberal Judaism. We strive to be a welcoming Jewish community. Whether you’re single or partnered; gay or straight; Jewishly involved or seeking Jewish connection; or from an interfaith home, you will find a comfortable place in our congregation. Our clergy and teachers help congregants exercise the responsibility and freedom to pursue the Jewish way of life most comfortable for them. Each member is encouraged to create a personally fulfilling expression of his or her Judaism on a life-long spiritual venture of discovery and reward. We believe that Jewish consciousness includes support for the larger Jewish community and for Israel. We regularly participate in activities to help strengthen both. The synagogue features a top-rated Early Learning Center, a thriving religious school, and a Jewish summer camp located at 10,200 feet in the Rocky Mountains. Temple Emanuel is one of three synagogues to have their own summer camp.
