Intimate. At Sinai, you’ll be noticed. People will greet you and
want to hear your story. Every member of the community is
valued and essential. The relationship between congregants,
rabbi, cantor, and staff is a sacred partnership based upon
mutual respect, shared Jewish commitment, and ongoing
Jewish growth.
Inclusive. We welcome you from wherever you’ve come. At
Sinai, you’ll find people who were born Jewish, converted to
Judaism or are in an interfaith relationship; multi-cultural,
multi-racial, and multi-ethnic families; and LBGTQ+ individuals, couples, and families. We meet you where you are.
Innovative. Sinai is on the forefront of innovative change. We
foster a culture where innovative risk taking is encouraged.
This ensures Sinai will be a place where Judaism’s most cher-
Synagogues
ished values find a foothold in today’s world and add a sense of
meaning and a sense of purpose to our lives.
Intentional. Sinai serves as a warm and welcoming gathering
place, a place to worship, to be inspired through music, to be
challenged by life’s essential questions and to seek answers
through learning and a commitment to a just and better world.
