Saturday morning Shabbat services at Congregation Emanu-El, 1461 Blanshard St., begin at 9:30 am in the sanctuary. Talia will be most involved starting at about 10:15 am, when the Torah service begins. Services end between 12:30-1:00 pm, after which a luncheon will be served at Ambrosia Banquet and Events, about a 7-minute walk from the synagogue.
Visit the synagogue website for historic background on Congregation Emanu-El (est. 1862), the oldest house of worship in British Columbia, and the oldest synagogue in continuous use in Canada. The synagogue recently underwent a major interior and exterior renovation, which we are able to enjoy thanks to the synagogue community and grant funding by various community partners, including the Ronald S. Roadburg Foundation.
