Temple Emanu-El of West Essex (transliterated from Hebrew meaning "God is with us") is a former Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue that was located at 264 West Northfield Road, in Livingston, in the West Essex section of New Jersey, in the United States. Founded in 1955, the congregation merged with Temple Sinai in Summit in 2018, due to financial reasons. The synagogue building was subsequently sold and has become the Living Stone Christian Church (Chinese: 新澤西立石教會), a Mandarin-speaking Christian church. The former early childhood daycare and Hebrew school buildings have become part of a Mandarin and Spanish language immersion center.
