Reno, Nevada — Temple Emanuel & MST#1142

April 2026

The Jewish population of Nevada is close to 100,000 however despite Reno having Jewish settlers since the 1850's there are less than 10,000 Jewish residents. Despite that they have an active community and Temple Emanuel that was established in 1917 has cared for MST#1142 Czech Torah for almost 30 years.

The community participates in our Czech Torah webpage project with https://www.renoemanuel.org/torah_1142 and uses their scroll meaningfully, taking it from its display case in order to participate in the Yom Hashoah services.

Our thanks to Larry and LaNae Gralla and the community for the work they do and also the photographs.
