Temple Emek Shalom has been a Rogue Valley institution for nearly forty years. Our congregation is always growing and attracts young families from northern California and across southern Oregon.

Our name, Emek Shalom, translates to Valley of Peace, and that's what our Reform Movement members strive to create for our community. A loving, caring, warm place that's inviting to all.

Our spiritual and lay leaders lead classes in all phases of life's cycles. From our pre-school, to our section in the Jacksonville cemetery, we are able to fulfill the mitzvah of leading and teaching our children Jewish culture and values throughout the circle of life. We have classes available to teach Hebrew to the young and old alike. We have choirs for both children and adults, and of course we have wonderful sessions of Torah study.

We are an active and engaged community that participates with other denominations in humanitarian work, and we of course, also have a social network to look after the needs of our congregants.

Our facilities are modern and clean, with the rebuilding of our new sanctuary having been completed in 2001. The building is used by the entire community to host events, lectures, art showings, and celebrations.
