Temple Emanu-El is a dynamic Reform congregation that has served as a gathering place for Jews on O’ahu for over 85 years. At Temple Emanu-El, guided by our principle of hachnasat orchim (audacious hospitality), we believe that everyone should have an open and welcoming Jewish home in Hawai'i, as well as an inspirational source of Jewish learning, culture, and social interaction – no matter their specific Jewish identity, how much they earn, how long they've lived in Hawai'i, how long they intend to stay, or where they currently are on their spiritual journey.
