Shabbat Evening Service
Long before "Israel" was the name of a country, it was the name given to Jacob after wrestling an angel and it is the name of the Jewish people. Join us in the Sanctuary for a service in which we explore the meaning of the name Israel in the Torah and in our times. Our 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. |
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). |
