Became a member as a young adult, now a Sr. Citizen. All staff, Rabbis and members have been the very kindest and welcoming to the new member and to this Sr. Citizen over all these years. A wonderful and welcoming place to be a member. Just like a warm home.
A beautiful temple in the heart of NYC. Very close to the Central Park Zoo. Unfortunately it us not open unless services are being held as the doors were locked when I tried to get in on a weekday. The outside details are very intricate and beautiful.
Beautiful roshana services zoomed in happy new year!
Came here on trip from England to see Hello Gorgeous exhibition. Lovely layout and not busy at all. Was also captivated by the beautiful Jewish artifacts on display. Would recommend a trip.
Last night we spent a fascinating evening at The Steckler Center at Temple Emanuel where Thomas Friedman and Rabbi Daniel Gordis had a discussion on Israeli and American relations. In the sold out auditorium, we sat and listened to two brilliant men explain the very complicated relationship between the American Jews and those living in Israel. The Steckler Center has some very prominent upcoming speakers including Justice John Roberts and Julie Andrews. While those events are already sold out, we are planning to be returning in the near future!
This beautiful and historic landmark is open for self guided tours most weekdays. Worship is at 6pm on Friday nights and 1030am on Saturday mornings, with a world class choir, organ, and often other instrumentation, mixing classic and contemporary liturgical music. The preschool, religious school, and other family and adult programs are among the very best in NYC, as you would expect from this 175 year old institution. The community is friendly and visitors are always welcomed warmly.
Went there for a senior event was a full house nice people very informative with lots of information.
It is a beautiful place. Very ornate and intricate architecture. The staff is pleasant and Security is very helpful.
Attended a book tour stop and was impressed with the temple as a venue. Fantastic, would go again.
Magnificent temple in New York City. Very grand and beautiful. Highly recommend visiting. The guides there are also very nice.
Incredibly beautiful space. Im not sure how you can enter without going through the museum, but either way its worth the visit.
Amazing architecture. Like a medieval castle with ceilings 50 ft High and decorated impressively. Worth seeing at least just once even if you are Jewish.
A wonderful Yom Kippur enjoyed by myself online live. The Holiday Service was so enjoyable!
I almost had a religious experience here.
Beautiful worship space. Warm and welcoming people.
Lovely space. Amazing programs. Gorgeous. I attended a film and discussion of the Triplets movie with friends. Spectacular event.
Great place to work as a security officer. I wish i could work there.
Simply the best
I love this place very relaxing and very down to earth!!
Excellent facility for the Liz Kreuger Sr. Resource Fair.
Gorgeous
Perhaps one of the most indescribably beautiful houses of worship in the entire world. If you ever get to go, even if you sit alone, one of two things will happen. You will either get closer to your inner self..........or closer to God. A human triumph of religious architecture.
The Temple Emanu-el is beautiful. High ceilings, stained glass windows and marble pillars makes this temple majestic.
Perhaps the most beautiful space in NYC.
Its like watching a Beoadway show tune entitled, Now that were in America were basically treated white, in New York.
The City of Temple encourages participation by all citizens of Temple and particularly persons of low and moderate income who reside in neighborhoods .
The membership was very friendly and welcoming
Enormous historical place, great architectural design and vision. Nice friendly stuff and management.
The Temple is quite awesome inside and they offer free tickets to their concerts!
While the synagogue is beautiful, the services are cold, little feeling of being in a Jewish house of worship. I come from the oldest reform Temple west of the Mississippi, but even there, you feel a Jewish connection. We sing our prayers together in Hebrew; we try to partake in the service. Here, I felt the last leg of anything Jewish. As a reform Jew with a history of 4 generations in California, I left here sad; I felt no sense of community, a service so void of anything that touched my heart as a Jew. Take away the magnificent building, to me, it could be any place of worship..... Jewish? unfortunately not.
One the biggest and mb jost beautiful Temples in the world
Great. Saw Hershey Felder.
The best of the best reform shuls

Nice Golden temple
Great, interesting and stimulating social events.
My favorite Temple in Manhattan so far
Absolutely stunning
This is the joint! Its the top mentioned synagogue in tv, in books, etc. Known historically for having many celebrity members such a Barbara Walters, Mike Bloomberg. The services are classic Reform Judaism and you will find that the services on Friday night tend to be short.
Beautiful.
Because Im JEWISH.
