10 Reasons to Join Congregation Emeth
10 Reasons to Join Congregation Emeth
1. You will become part of an extended family. Most of us live far away from relatives and the places where we grew up. We have found an extended family in the warm and caring Congregation Emeth community.
2. You will become part of a group of spiritual seekers. Members of Congregation Emeth come from a variety of backgrounds: traditional, liberal and secular Jewish upbringing. All traditions are welcome.
3. Approximately half of our families are interfaith. Non-Jewish spouses or partners are respected, accepted and included.
4. You will demonstrate to your children the importance of being part of something larger than yourself. Through Congregation Emeth, become attached to almost 6000 years of Jewish history and tradition.
5, You will have the support, counsel, and guidance of a rabbi who will assist you in challenging times and life-cycle events. Rabbi Dantowitz also will provide you with support and tutelage concerning Judaic identity and education.
6. You will have people nearby to celebrate with you in times of joy and comfort you in times of sorrow.
7. You will have opportunities to volunteer your service to both the synagogue and the greater community.
8. You will help your children learn Jewish values, history and tradition. For children who have no other Jews in their public school classroom, their relationships with Emeth children will forge a tight bond that will endure throughout their school years and beyond.
9. You will receive complementary High Holy Days tickets for you and your household; discounted facility rental fees; opportunities to enroll your children in our member-only Jewish Studies and Hebrew Studies; and eligibility to receive bar/bat mitzvah instruction for you and your children.
10, And let's not forget food. Where else in the South Valley will you find kugel at a potluck supper or argue about whether chocolate belongs in hamantaschen?

When you hear the words “New Orleans Mardi Gras” you might think of “masking”, “drunken revelry”, and “debauchery”. You would not be wrong! However, if you suspect that there may be something more to a city-wide celebration so popular with visitors that the number of people in the city doubles in size, and so attractive to the vast majority of locals - including families with children - that year after year they invest their time, money and energy to participate in its colorful traditions, you would also be correct. Congregation Emeth is hosting a program at 7 p.m. on the evening of March 4th that will offer a peek into the multitude of big messy parades, balls, parties, and festivities that make up what New Orleanians refer to as “the Carnival Season.” Join us then to find out more about Mardi Gras’ historical and religious underpinnings, its multiple forms of celebration, and even its dirty little secrets. New Orleans’ style refreshments to follow. About our Presenter: In 1979, Julie Schwartz was lured down to New Orleans by a man and a job. After a hurricane almost chased her away, she developed an insatiable appetite to learn about the history and culture of the town they call “The Big Easy.” In 2008, she made it official and became a licensed tour guide. From that point on, she harangued whoever would listen with a multitude of facts. Yet, people continue to come. You did! We hope you enjoy! -
