The Emanuel Synagogue

The Emanuel Synagogue is a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking Conservative congregation that welcomes individuals and families of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and orientations to participate fully in our community. Whether through prayer services, educational programming, or social and cultural events, we encourage active engagement and foster a sense of belonging for all.

We are dynamic and innovative in how we express and celebrate Jewish traditions, customs, and teachings—honoring our rich heritage while embracing new ideas, technologies, and forms of connection that meet the evolving needs of today’s Jewish community. Our robust calendar of events reflects a community that is energetic, intellectually curious, and spiritually alive.

More than a place of worship, The Emanuel is a hub for lifelong learning, meaningful relationships, and mutual support through every phase of the Jewish lifecycle. As a multi-generational congregation with deep roots in the Greater Hartford area, we take pride in our 100+ years of service, while also celebrating the vitality of our future—evidenced by our recent growth to 547 families, including more than 62 new families welcomed over the past two years.

At The Emanuel, tradition and innovation go hand-in-hand as we continue to shape a warm, welcoming, and resilient community for generations to come.
