EMANUEL HAS GONE SOLAR!

Jewish tradition says that when the earth was created and handed to human beings, we were directed to care for it for the future generations. As part of Emanuel Synagogue’s commitment to protecting our planet and reducing our carbon footprint, we have installed solar panels on the roof of our newest building. This is one step in our ongoing programme to become a green synagogue. In conjunction with our already established recycling programme and other mindful actions, we are doing what we can to care for our earth and each other.

Prana Energy designed and installed the turn-key 34.2 kWp PV System for Emanuel Synagogue using Longi Solar Panels & SolarEdge inverters. Installation of solar panels has significantly reduced Emanuel Synagogue’s environmental footprint.

Emanuel Synagogue considers the project to be successful. It was able to achieve

both environmental and economic targets set at the beginning of the project. Our

goal was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the area.

The project was supported by Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick Councils as part of

 Solar my Club program and this collaboration was proven to be a success. Emanuel

Synagogue utilised the expertise of the Solar my Club specialists in running solar

feasibility assessment, site visits, tender evaluation and financial modelling.

OUR EMANUEL SYNAGOGUE

The synagogue is the Jewish community’s only multi-generational communal gathering place; it is the only place we intentionally come to share life’s deepest moments, to speak about life’s meaning and how to make a positive contribution to the world.

Emanuel Synagogue leads in bringing our people together in a vast range of thoughtful conversations and engaging activities

We have a distinct, inclusive and creative approach to transmitting Torah values and traditions to the next generations. Led by our dynamic clergy team and dedicated staff, our memberships are growing at unprecedented levels as we inspire with a contemporary perspective, connecting with a NSW community hungry for the right balance of respect and honour for tradition with a commitment to inclusion and diversity.

We advocate for and practice care for our planet and life on it; `champion social justice and inclusion, following the deepest teachings of our Torah and tradition.

Our learning and study programs, music and cultural events, and many ways of social connection and action deliver a full spectrum of Jewish engagement across all ages, backgrounds and interests.
