Working in community to bring justice, caring, and healing to our world.

The Temple Sinai community works in the spirit of Judaism’s prophetic tradition of seeking justice, healing and peace to bring about Tikkun Olam (repair of the world). Our congregation pursues social justice work that helps the Jewish people and the wider world community. As we perform acts that better the world in which we live, we also seek to transform ourselves as individuals and as a community.
