Message From Our Co-Presidents |
|
Dearest Sisters:
As we approach another High Holiday season, I am more focused on what will be different this year. I will be sleeping a little later because there is no need to get dressed up, put on eye makeup, and drive to shul. I will not have my beloved daughter with me, as she will be a first-year student in college. I will not be going to lunch at family and friends’ homes after services. Most of all, I will really be missing my favorite part of the holidays – hugging and kissing all of my sisters and other congregants that have become family to me over the past 20+ years.
What will remain the same for all of us, as in any other year, is that we must each reach down and find the kavanah for introspection and stocktaking, for forgiveness for ourselves and others, for prayer and repentance. We will think of those we lost this past year, thank God for allowing each of us to remain alive for another year, and promise to be better souls in the year ahead.
Wishing you all good health, happiness, peace and prosperity for you and your families. L’shanah tovah umetukah!
Your Co-Presidents,
Marcy Melton and Lina Pournazarian

|

This year, Sinai Temple members will have the opportunity to virtually participate in our Main Sanctuary, Family Minyan, Torah in the Round, Dor Chadash, Kindergarten-2nd grade, 3rd-6th grade, Teen Center, and Atid prayer services. Because Sinai Temple strives to also serve the larger Jewish community, some of our streaming services will be accessible to all those who wish to join us. As such, Erev Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre, and most of the Yom Kippur services will be streamed to the greater Jewish community. Click HERE to see the full High Holy Day schedule.
Sinai Temple members can come pick up their Sinai Temple High Holy Day Kit! Your clergy will be passing out mahzorim and a special bag filled with everything you need for the High Holy Days: candles, honey, children’s activities, and much more to make your holidays filled with spirit and meaning. Pickup is available on Thursday, September 10 and Friday, September 11 between 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Click HERE for additional details, or contact Rabbi Nicole Guzik at nguzik@sinaitemple.org.
