The Temple Emunah Brotherhood is an organization that brings the men of the congregation together for social, religious, service and fund raising activities for the benefit of the Temple and the community. There are approximately 150 members. Social events include movie nights, breakfasts with speakers or other entertainment, annual Brotherhood deli dinner, family Super Bowl Party, spring family barbeque, and other events.

In support of religious life at the Temple, the Brotherhood provides ushers for the High Holy Days and annually builds and decorates the Sukkah. The membership also leads Shabbat services at the annual Brotherhood Shabbat. A major fundraiser is the Yizkor book and book of remembrances which helps enhance the beauty of the High Holiday services. The Brotherhood also sponsors a Passover Wine sale which has over 70 varieties of kosher wine. Fund raising supports the Youth Groups, the Religious School, the Temple Operating Budget, Torah Fund, and Capital Campaign. The Brotherhood donated a new computer and projections system for use by the religious school. In addition, the Brotherhood supports the Tikvah Program for special needs campers at Camp Ramah.
