The observance of Shabbat at Temple Sinai is a central focus of our congregational life. We strive to offer our members a variety of worship experiences and Shabbat programs.

Evening Shabbat Services: Services are held each Friday evening. On the 1st and 3rd Fridays of every month, Shabbat services will be at 8 PM followed by an Oneg. On the 2nd, 4th and last (if there are 5) Fridays, Shabbat services will be at 6:30 PM and preceded by Prozdor (appetizers).

Tot Shabbat: A special service and dinner is usually held on the first Shabbat evening of each month, for families with infants through pre-school age children. A special age-appropriate service is held at 6:00 PM, followed by a participatory dinner for which reservations are required.

Shabbat Morning Torah Study: A wonderful educational opportunity awaits all who attend weekly Torah Study on Saturday mornings, beginning at 9:15 AM in the Temple Library. The classes, led by our clergy, focus on the Torah reading for the week. The study is followed at 10:30 AM by an informal Shabbat service in the Library.

Kehillat Shabbat: Kehillat Shabbat is celebrated the first Shabbat morning of every month in the Bet Am, starting at 10:30 AM. It’s very informal in dress and style. More...

Simchat Shabbat: Simchat Shabbat is celebrated the third Saturday of every month at 10:00 am. At the Simchat Shabbat Family service, participants sing, read, dance, pray, and celebrate Shabbat in a spirited morning service. Led by Rabbi Jessica Oleon and Cantorial soloist Robyn Helzner, Simchat Shabbat offers an alternative Shabbat morning experience for all ages. More...

Shabbat Mincha Service : Shabbat Mincha (afternoon) services are held at 5:30 PM on those Saturday afternoons when B'nai/B'not Mitzvah services are scheduled. The entire congregation is welcome to attend and to share in the joy of the occasion.
