Sinai Shabbat Saturdays

New Ways to Experience Shabbat at Temple Sinai*

Saturday Morning Torah Study*K with Rabbinic Intern Dina Kwasnicki in person and via ZOOM

Shabbat is a time for reflection, gratitude, and enrichment.

Join us for a morning of engaging text study and conversation, centered around the weekly Torah portion.

No previous knowledge of Hebrew, liturgy, or text required – join us as we learn from our tradition and from one another!

*Temple Sinai will always hold space for you to remember your loved one and say Kaddish for them. Please note that Kaddish will be recited during any program marked with *K.

In Jewish tradition, remembering our loved ones is something we carry deeply - in our hearts, in our prayers, and in the good we do in their names. During Yizkor, pledging tzedakah is a meaningful way to create a lasting connection with those we remember.

Each name recorded in the pages of our Yom Kippur Memorial Book is a tribute to those we cherish. It’s a simple yet powerful way to keep their names, stories, and spirit close to us as we gather together, bound by shared experiences of remembrance.

This year, in addition to the individual name listings, we are also offering memorial dedications. The dedications are available as quarter pages, half pages, and full pages, and allow you the option to include a personal message.
