The House Resolution honors the 100th anniversary of Temple Emanu-El, which was founded on June 14, 1924, to serve as a house of worship for the Jewish community in Rhode Island. The resolution details the temple's early history, including the drafting of its constitution, the construction of its building in 1925, and the hiring of its first rabbi and cantor by 1926. Despite facing challenges during the Great Depression, the temple continued to thrive and celebrated its tenth anniversary in 1935 with significant events, including the first Bat Mitzvah ceremony.

As a significant center of Jewish life on the East Side of Providence, Temple Emanu-El has provided educational programs, social and cultural activities, and worship opportunities over the past century. The resolution acknowledges the temple's contributions to the well-being of its congregants and the local community. It also announces plans for a Centennial Gala on May 18, 2025, to celebrate this milestone. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy to the temple's president, Pam Kaitin-Miller.
