Bill > H6357

This resolution honors the 100th anniversary of Temple Emanu-El, a synagogue located in Providence, Rhode Island, by recognizing its historical significance and community contributions. Founded on June 14, 1924, the Temple was established with the purpose of creating a house of worship for Jewish individuals and supporting their spiritual and community needs. The resolution highlights the Temple's early history, including its construction on land near Brown University's Botanical Gardens, its first services in 1926, and its official opening in 1927. It also acknowledges the Temple's resilience during challenging times like the Great Depression and its ongoing commitment to educational, social, and cultural programs in the historic East Side of Providence. The resolution celebrates the Temple's centennial milestone, noting its upcoming Centennial Gala on May 18, 2025, and officially commends the institution for its valued contributions to its congregants and local community. As a final action, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Pam Kaitin-Miller, the Temple's current president, as a formal recognition of the Temple's century of service.
