Sinai Families

Here at Temple Sinai we cultivate a hands-on approach to learning in our classrooms and community. Our students and parents take an active role at family learning programs, special events and Shabbat services. Our curriculum emphasizes the basics of Torah, Hebrew reading and comprehension skills, social action, prayer, and Jewish studies. Our goal is to open a door to learning for everyone! Once a month, the entire religious school community comes together on a Sunday morning for joyous singing and the ritual of Havdalah (when we bid farewell to Shabbat).

• Grades K-2 attend on Sunday mornings
• Grades 3-7 attend on Sunday mornings and Tuesday afternoons
• Grades 8-12 enroll in Sinai U, our multi-faceted teen program

Please note that Temple membership is required for enrollment – We offer complimentary Temple membership dues for new families whose oldest child is entering Kindergarten, Grade 1, or Grade 2.

Throughout the high school years, our students are involved in a variety of Jewish activities, under the umbrella of “Sinai U,” our multiple-offering program for teens.

In the 12th grade year, we offer a special “Senior Seminar” with our rabbis, who engage our students in Jewish study and discussion around these topics: preparing for life at college or away from home, their relationships with their parents, making good choices, how to care for the health of their bodies and souls, sexuality and relationships, understanding Israel, and more.

At the end of the year, we honor all of our graduating high school students for all of their Jewish involvements, and invite them to read from the Torah, at a celebratory Friday night “Aliyah Ceremony,” and we offer blessings for them and their family members. Check out bit.ly/SinaiUTeens
