ENGAGE IN TEMPLE LIFE

Our Reform congregation is more than a group of individuals: our members feel like an extended family. We offer multi-generational educational and social programming; dynamic Hebrew and religious school; exciting activities for young families; social action programs that reach the larger community; vibrant and inclusive daily services, and equal participation for men and women.

Temple offers an excellent range of opportunities for every member — no matter their age or stage — to build relationships and find their unique place in the Temple community.

For some, that means joining in our very participatory Shabbat services, which have many opportunities for lay involvement, including Torah text study brought to life in a relevant way for today. For others, it means finding enrichment in volunteer committees, social action initiatives, or adult Jewish learning programs.

Families value our excellent schools and child and youth programs designed for kids from eighteen months to high school and beyond.

What our members say...
Many participants in Canasta Connections are lifelong Temple friends with whom we have socialized for decades. But we’ve also met some new people. We’re learning something every week as we become better at the game. I do wish more men would join us! I’ve mentioned Canasta Connections to a few guys, but no takers yet. Its lots of fun and it’s certainly a new experience being the only man among the participants.

We were inspired to be part of the ShinShinim program because of our desire to expose our children to Israeli culture while expanding their knowledge. The world is so diverse, and through hosting several ShinShinim over the years, our children became more educated about the complexities and nuances of a different culture. The added bonus is that we made great memories and forged lasting relationships!

Coming into Israel was such an amazing experience for me. It was my first time and I couldn’t have been more excited. The best moment was when we were first able to see the sea meeting with the country itself.

As a Saturday Library volunteer, I have rekindled so many “old” friendships from school, politics and the community. Temple Sinai has become dynamic this past twenty years—diverse opinions, challenges for our younger members, shared programs that delight young and older members and a rabbi who is “with it”. On their way to the sanctuary, members pass the library, where meeting and greeting is much fun. It’s been over 30 years of just saying “hello”.

After hearing about the positive experiences of some friends and family with the ShinShinim program, we decided to respond to Temple’s call for volunteer families and take advantage of the opportunity to host a shinshin. I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in taking part in this program to do so. It was a very rewarding experience for both us and our children.
