The congregation (formerly “The Minyan”) has welcomed students, business visitors and tourists to Silicon Valley for 40 years. A growing, vibrant Orthodox community of more than 140 families, it creates a welcoming environment for people from all backgrounds. Committed to approaching the modern world through the perspective of halachah, embracing religious Zionism, and growing in Jewish learning and observance. The synagogue’s name comes from a verse in Divrei HaYamim (Chronicles) where the kingdom of Yehuda gathers in a valley of blessing (Emek Beracha), so-called because “from there they blessed HaShem.”
