Hit the Road with Temple Emanuel

We have two exciting opportunities to travel with Temple Emanuel in the spring and summer of 2018:

• Congregational Day Trip to Monticello, April 8, 2018
  Join us for a day exploring and learning about the beautiful and historical mountaintop home of Thomas Jefferson! The trip will focus not only on Jefferson and his legacy, but on the Jewish American Levy family who purchased Monticello after Jefferson’s death and preserved it for the enjoyment and education of future generations.
• Congregational Trip to New York City, June 15-17, 2018
  Our fantastic itinerary includes the Jewish Museum in Manhattan, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, a Broadway Show, the famous Katz’s Deli, and more! This is the perfect opportunity to experience Jewish New York with your Temple Emanuel family. We will do all of the planning and make all of the arrangements; all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself!
