2026 Visionaries of Anshe Emet

Sunday, May 3, 2026 

Reception • 4PM | Ceremony • 5PM

This year’s Visionaries of Anshe Emet celebration carries special meaning as we gather under the theme M’Chayil L’Chayil (From Strength to Strength). For the first time, the Rabbi Michael S. Siegel Visionary Award, established to honor members of our community whose work reflects inspiration and innovation in service of the broader world, will be presented to Rabbi Siegel himself as we mark his retirement and honor a lifetime of visionary leadership at Anshe Emet. 

We hope you will join us on May 3, 2026, at 4:00 pm at Anshe Emet Synagogue for The Visionaries of Anshe Emet celebration, as we honor Rabbi Siegel’s distinguished rabbinate and lasting impact. This historic evening will reflect on a lifetime of service that has strengthened our congregation, enriched Jewish life in Chicago, and influenced the broader Jewish world. 

A portion of the proceeds from the celebration will support The Rabbi Michael S. Siegel Israel Fund which supports youth trips to Israel. 

We hope you can join us at Anshe Emet Synagogue for
“The Visionaries of Anshe Emet” celebration.
