Emanuel is a vibrant, growing congregation located along Chicago's lakefront. What makes Emanuel so unique is its dedication to Jewish worship, learning and community by its diverse membership of: seniors and families who have been members for several generations, interfaith and interracial couples, and those who have more recently identified with the Jewish people. Our midsized Reform congregation has a strong commitment to Jewish tradition that serves as the foundation for our daily lives.

Manna for Emanuel: Gift Cards that Give Back
Think about the money you spend over the course of the month at stores like Jewel for groceries, AMC movies for entertainment, Marathon for gas, and in the summer at hotels like Marriott and Best Western. Did you know that you can make this money work double-time? By planning in advance and purchasing gift cards through Manna for Emanuel, you can give a portion of the money you have already budgeted to your congregation. It is an easy win-win!
Orders, paid with cash or checks made out to Emanuel, can be turned in to the office periodically and will be ready the following week. For more information, leave a message for the coordinator in the Emanuel office. Download the Manna For Emanuel order form to start your next order.

"Every Jew shall write a torah" is a mitzvah that Emanuel is proud to embrace in the five year project designated as the Rabbi Herman and Lotte Schaalman Torah Writing Project. The new Torah scroll will be used in all services, with the exception of B'nai Mitzvah and Confirmation, when in a tradition established by Rabbi Schaalman, student's read from our Czech Torah Scroll. The project will serve as an expression of our regard, respect, devotion and love for two remarkable individuals who have given so much to Emanuel for over 50 years.
