THIS SATURDAY

9:30am
Join us for our Shabbat morning services every week from 9:30am-10:30am. Our one-hour service is rooted in the traditional chanting of prayers, but includes English readings and song as well so that all can be included. (This service does not include a Torah service.) The service is a lovely, meditative, and peaceful way to start the day. Whether we have five or fifty, we'll be mixing traditional chanting with songs both old and new tunes to create a prayerful space for connection. The service this week will be led by Bruce Chalmer.

10:30am
Torah study with bagels/donuts and coffee will begin at 10:30am and go until Noonish.  Our Torah  Study is a vibrant exchange of ideas about the we ekly Torah portion, bringing both traditional commentary and recent scholarship to bear on the text.  It is a lively salon style, participatory Torah study where all are welcome, and no background or Hebrew is needed. The study this week will be led by Bruce Chalmer.
Waterers Needed

Thanks to all those who helped build our new "Star of David Flower Garden" on the Temple Work Day.  A special thanks to Patty and Steve Greenfield for coming out this past Sunday and Monday to "flower" and mulch the garden.

That just leaves one thing. . . we need volunteers to come out and water the garden for us.  

We are looking to have it watered three-four times a week.  If you can help out on one of the days, please CLICK HERE to let Patty Greenfield know.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Chaverim has you covered!

In need of a ride to and from services and/or events at Temple Sinai?
Please contact our Chaverim Committee, and they will help arrange a ride for you from someone in your area that is coming to that service or event.

Coming to a service or event at Temple Sinai and willing to provide a ride?
Please let the Chaverim Committee know that you are willing to give rides to people in your area.
 BE AN AMBASSADOR

The Membership Committee is initiating a Membership Ambassador Program .
The goal of the program is to connect each new member with a current member
who will welcome the new member, check in with them periodically to answer
questions, and invite them to services and/or special events to ensure that
new members are feeling connected with Temple.
 
If you would like to be an Ambassador or would like more information
about the program please contact Stacie Gabert.

Wednesdays | 11:00am


Award-winning writer Matti Friedman's tale of Israel's first spies has all the tropes of an espionage novel, including duplicity, betrayal, disguise, clandestine meetings, the bluff, and the double bluff-but it's all true.
