Temple Emanu-El

Mission Statement

Temple Emanu-El is a Reform Jewish congregation upholding the traditions of Judaism including Hebrew Language, Tanakh, T'fillot, Mitzvot, Holidays, Customs, Jewish History, and Israel, while empowering members to cultivate their relationship with God and Torah.

The mission of Temple Emanu-El is to cultivate and nurture the love and understanding of Judaism; to provide a warm and caring environment to nurture Judaism; to ensure the future of our Jewish community, commitment to Tikkun Olam, and to strengthen and serve our members.

Vision Statement

Temple Emanu-El's mission will be accomplished through embracing the following values:

Temple Emanu-El - History

Dothan's synagogue was organized on January 30, 1929, meeting and worshipping in rented space. The dedicated group of families completed a new building on September 14, 1941, served by the congregation's first full-time Rabbi, Alfred Wolfe.

A major building addition (social hall, large kitchen, and classrooms) was completed in 1963 followed in 1998 by a comprehensive remodeling/upgrading of the entire synagogue facility. We are very proud of this commitment to continuous improvement, ours truly is an exquisite facility, yet the building is paid for and has no mortgage.

For over 80 years, our synagogue has maintained an active, dedicated congregation without the comforting security of a large Jewish community. We have not missed a Shabbat evening service during those 80+ years; proof positive that the congregation enjoys lay leaders prepared to step-up (as needed) to lead services.

Temple Emanu-El has successfully weathered the Great Depression, played a significant and meaningful part in the spiritual lives of our military service families and, overall, enjoys a special place in southern Jewish history.

Our congregation regards and respects each of its members as family. Although modest in number, we consider ourselves "small but mighty," proud of our spirit, positive energy, rich history, and commitment to excellence.

Temple Emanu-El - Warm & Welcoming

During 1941, Temple Emanu-El affiliated with the Reform Movement and remains a member of the Union for Reform Judaism.

Fully aware that mainstream Reform may not be everyone's personal choice, Temple Emanu-El has always strived to insure that congregants from more traditional backgrounds are comfortable in celebrating their Judaism at our synagogue.

Looking now to the future, we celebrate the recent appointment (August 2007) of Rabbi Lynne Goldsmith.

Rabbi Goldsmith is an excellent fit with the Temple's attributes: we enjoy a high energy level; an extremely positive atmosphere of extended family; deep spiritual commitment, and; dedication to lifelong Jewish education.

Truly, the Temple is "on the move" as our Rabbi works hand-in-hand with the congregation's strong lay leadership, vibrant Sisterhood and Brotherhood, and dedicated volunteers.
