Adult Programming

At Emanu-El, we believe that engagement doesn’t end after religious school. Our adult programming is designed to feed your soul, spark your creativity, and strengthen your ties to our community.

Music & Performance

Find Your Voice and Your Rhythm

Whether you’re a lifelong musician or just love to sing in the shower, there’s a place for you in our musical family.

  • Adult Choir: Lift your voice in harmony. Our choir leads worship during monthly Shabbat services and the High Holy Days.
  • Mazel Tunes Band: Dust off your instrument! Our volunteer band performs several times a year for services and special celebrations.
  • Purim Spiel: Each year, Cantor Barash reimagines the Purim story through the lens of a famous musical. Join the cast in January for rehearsals leading up to our big performance.
  • Annual Variety Show: From professional-grade talents to “stupid pet tricks,” our January showcase is a joyful celebration of our members’ unique gifts.
  • Get Involved: Contact Cantor Barash.

Hobby & Interest Groups

  • Knitting Circle: We gather to create warmth and comfort, knitting hats for local schoolchildren and “comfort shawls” for congregants who are ill or hospitalized. To join, contact Ann Klein.
  • Tuesday Book Club: Join us on the third Tuesday of every month at 1:30 PM for deep discussions and light noshing. Contact Sherry Malmon.

Emanu-El Around Town (E.A.T.)

Community Beyond Our Walls

At Emanu-El, we know that “synagogue” isn’t just a building – it’s the people. Our community is alive wherever we gather, whether we are in the sanctuary or out exploring the vibrant city of Milwaukee.

Emanu-El Around Town (E.A.T.) is our way of bringing the spirit of our congregation into the places we live, work, and play. From cheering on local teams at sporting events to attending concerts, theater performances, and casual social gatherings, we believe that shared experiences build the strongest bonds.

Keep an eye on our calendar for the next E.A.T. outing. We’ll see you around town!
