Diverse, inclusive and warm, the Reform Jewish movement as expressed at Temple Emanu-el in Sarasota is growing in numbers and passion. Rabbi Brenner Glickman brings knowledge of the Torah and Tradition as well as caring, humor and intellect to the temple. The preschool was established more than 25 years ago. Temple Emanu-el has Mishpucha (family) programs to strengthen the temple bond among members, and equally hosts events for the wider community. It strives to be all-inclusive no matter the level of someone's knowledge or practice of faith. It respects the Torah and tradition while living modern lives.
