Community - Temple Sinai

There are a wide range of opportunities to take an active role in the Temple Sinai community. We encourage our members to participate in projects, committee activities, and social gatherings throughout the year. Whether you choose to help with a short-term project, fulfill an ongoing role on a committee, or just spend time catching up with friends at Shabbat dinners, the time you spend will connect you with others, enhance congregational life and provide needed services for the larger community.

OSLO $\"\"$
Written by J. T. Rogers
Directed by Ryan Rilette

In 1993, unbeknownst to the rest of the world, an audacious husband-and-wife team of Norwegian bureaucrats assembled a motley band of would-be diplomats from the Middle East to attempt the unimaginable: negotiate peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Operating only through back-channels—in secrecy, and without any official bargaining power—the group struggles to find middle ground as political tensions reach a fever pitch. But at the heart of diplomacy lies empathy, and these peacemakers must rely on the strength of the surprising personal bonds they have forged if they want to succeed. Artistic Director Ryan Rilette helms this thrilling nail biter, based on the true events surrounding the Oslo Peace Accords, that swept the 2016-2017 awards season.

There will be a post-show talkback for our group.
