Temple Emanu-El, Reform synagogue in Honolulu, United States.
Temple Emanu-El is a Reform synagogue in Honolulu located on Pali Highway with twelve large paintings displayed throughout its main sanctuary. The building showcases modern architecture that creates bright, open interior spaces for worship and community activities.
The synagogue was founded in 1938 and became part of the Reform Judaism movement when it joined their national organization in 1952. The current building was completed and dedicated in 1960 under the leadership of Rabbi Roy Rosenberg.
The name honors Emanuel, reflecting Jewish presence in Hawaii with biblical significance. The congregation gathers here for religious and cultural occasions that mark important moments in their lives.
The synagogue offers both in-person and online services, allowing members and visitors throughout Hawaii to participate in religious ceremonies. Check ahead about visiting hours and accessibility options before planning a visit.
A Torah scroll and pointer once owned by Elias Abraham Rosenberg are displayed in the main sanctuary. These objects connect the synagogue to Hawaiian royal history through Rosenberg's friendship with King David Kalākaua.
