Worship

The best way for you to get to know us is to attend a Shabbat service on any Friday night or Saturday morning. Our worship is joyful, spiritual, and musical. Check our calendar for service times. Our Friday services are often followed by an Oneg reception. We celebrate lifecycle events like b'nei mitzvah with excitement and fun. Our holidays are a time of meaning and broad participation. We're saving a seat for you.

Learning

All of us, children and adults, learn in education programs centered on Judaism as a personal living experience. Your child can enter our Religious School as early as Kindergarten. Our students celebrate become b'nei mitzvah at age 13. Tenth graders learn in our Confirmation class. Come to our breakfast and lively adult Torah study before the morning service every Saturday morning.

Community

As a newcomer to Temple Sinai, you will be warmly welcomed. Our Sisterhood and Brotherhood sponsor congregational gatherings, like the Onegs that follow many evening services. You are welcome to join our volunteer chorus, Shireinu, which sings at Shabbat services on special occasions. Your children can join our CRAFTY youth groups for fun activities for middle school and high school students.

Clergy

In 2014, the congregation welcomed Rabbi Jeff Goldwasser. Rabbi Jeff is our spiritual leader, our counselor, and our friend. Cantor Deborah Johnson joined us in 2016. Her beautiful voice and exuberance fill our sanctuary with joy.

Social Action

We make the wisdom of Judaism relevant to the world today by taking action on current issues. We encourage you to join our "Prayer is Not Enough" network to receive action alerts on issues in Rhode Island and the world.

Membership

Judaism is not a spectator sport. To be a Jew is to be part of a Jewish community. When you join Temple Sinai you become part of a warm and vibrant community – and you become a member of our Temple family.
