2015-12-21 - In 1957 Temple Emanuel was the largest Reform congregation in Worcester; merged with Temple Sinai in 2013 to become Temple Emanuel Sinai; Temple Emanuel property sold to the Worcester State University Foundation in 2013, which gave the congregation an additional two years to use the facility; the organ was offered for sale via the Organ Clearing House in 2015. -Database Manager
