The resolution commemorates the centennial anniversary of Temple Emanu-El, which was founded on June 14, 1924, with the mission of providing a house of worship for the Hebrew faith and serving the spiritual and moral needs of its community. The resolution details the early history of the Temple, including the construction of its building, the hiring of its first rabbi and cantor, and the challenges faced during the Great Depression, which impacted its operations and programs. Despite these challenges, the Temple has remained a vital center of Jewish life in Providence, Rhode Island, offering educational, social, and cultural activities over the past century.

In recognition of its significant contributions to the community, the resolution celebrates the upcoming Centennial Gala on May 18, 2025, themed “100 years, Countless Blessings.” It expresses appreciation for Temple Emanu-El's role as a productive partner in enhancing the well-being of its congregants and the local community. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy to the Temple's President, Pam Kaitin-Miller, as a formal acknowledgment of this milestone.
