We are excited to announce that starting Monday, August 26, the South Addition and South Entrance will officially be open for use! Over the summer weeks, construction crews have been hard at work to finish the new space. The advanced security system has been installed, the new elevator is operational, and the community lounge has been stocked with reading materials by our Library Committee. Additionally, our Art Committee has added beautiful artwork throughout the space, and the landscaping around the Stormwater Retention Ponds is nearing completion this week.

Beginning Monday, August 26, the South Entrance directly accessible from the parking lot will serve as Temple Sinai’s new primary entrance, and the East (old main) Entrance will be closed. All who come to the temple will use the South Entrance to both enter and exit the building. When the building is open, security staff will be ready to buzz you in and assist you in navigating the new wing.

This marks the culmination of many years of dedication and support from the Temple Sinai community. We eagerly anticipate experiencing how the South Addition will enhance and build our Kehillah Kedoshah, our Holy Community.

While the exterior work on the Stormwater Retention Ponds and the walkway to Jocelyn Street is ongoing, it will not impact our use of the South Addition. We expect these final touches to be completed in early autumn.
