The House Committee is happy to inform the community that the long anticipated electrical upgrade project is complete! Upgrades include: the installation of a new code-compliant smoke and heat detection system, a new fire alarm panel with a code-complaint connection to the fire department, new code-compliant emergency lighting at the exit doors and the gallery vestibule, and a whole new lighting system, including, among many other things, new spotlights directed at the Bema. Thank you to PBX Engineering for the design & oversight and Sasco Electrical Contractors for the electrical work!

Congregation Emanu-El acknowledges that we are located on the traditional Coast Salish territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. We recognize our responsibility to care for these lands as First Nations have done for millennia. In accordance with the Jewish precept of teshuvah, or sacred reconciliation, we seek to repair the harms we settlers have done to the Indigenous peoples of these lands.

As Rabbi Nachman taught: “If you believe you can damage, believe you can repair.”​
