The 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 Hebrew faith and to promote the spiritual and moral welfare of its members and the surrounding community. The temple's construction began in 1925, and it officially opened on September 18, 1927, despite facing challenges during the Great Depression that impacted its operations and funding. Over the past century, Temple Emanu-El has become a vital center for Jewish life in Providence, Rhode Island, offering educational programs, cultural activities, and worship opportunities.

In recognition of this significant milestone, the resolution celebrates the temple's contributions to its congregants and the local community, and it announces plans for a Centennial Gala on May 18, 2025, themed "Countless Blessings." The House of Representatives commends Temple Emanu-El for its enduring impact and partnership within the community, and it directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the temple's president, Pam Kaitin-Miller.
