FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 6PM
Shabbat Service in the Sanctuary,
​Oneg Shabbat in the Social Hall
What does it mean to be a Zionist today? On the Shabbat when we read how Abraham acquired his first parcel of land in what would later be the Land of Israel, Rabbi Goldwasser will reflect on our relationship to that land and how it continues to inspire and challenge us. Our service in the Sanctuary will be followed by an Oneg Shabbat reception in the Social Hall. Shabbat services are every Friday night at 6PM. Join in-person or on Zoom. The Zoom meeting opens 30 minutes before the service for socializing.

The Alef Beats
The Alef Beats, Brown/RISD's Jewish a cappella group, will be performing at Temple Sinai following Religious School on Sunday, November 16. All are welcome to attend the 45-minute concert in the Sanctuary, filled with music appropriate for children.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2PM
People of the Book
The next meeting of the Temple Sinai book group will be on Sunday, November 30, in the Tree of Life room at 2PM. We will discuss Thistelfoot, by GennaRose Nethercott. Thistlefoot is the name of a magical shtetl house with chicken legs that unexpectedly travels to estranged siblings Bellatine and Isaac Yaga, who are descended from the mystical Russian-Jewish matriarch Baba Yaga. Will the house be able to bring Bellatine and Isaac together? What does Thistlefoot  say about intergenerational connections? Read the book and join us for an engaging conversation. 

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 6PM
Shabbat Service in the Sanctuary,
Remembering Rabbi George Astrachan, ז׳׳ל
Rabbi George Astrachan served Temple Sinai from 1979 to 1999 as our spiritual leader. At the conclusion of sheloshim, the thirty days of mourning his death, we will dedicate our Friday evening service on December 5 to his memory. Join us as members of the congregation offer their stories about Rabbi Astrachan and the ways that he inspired them. Our service in the Sanctuary will be followed by an Oneg Shabbat reception in the Social Hall.
