Shabbat Breakfast and Torah Study
For more than forty years, Temple Sinai has had a weekly breakfast and Torah study on Shabbat morning. Every Saturday at 9:30 AM, a crew of volunteers prepares and serves the scrambled eggs, french toast, pancakes, and creamy oatmeal for all comers. Then, we really get cooking with study of the weekly Torah portion. You can join the Torah study in person or on Zoom starting at 10:00 AM. An hour-long morning service, including Torah reading, begins at 11:00 AM. (The breakfast is completely free of charge. If you are looking for a way to contribute, we are always in need of people to help clean up). |
