High Holy Days & More at Temple Sinai 5780

High Holy Day preparations at Temple Sinai have been taking place all summer long and we
hope that you are looking forward with anticipation to the inspiring services and programming
which will begin in just a short time. This year, you will find a number of new people and new
offerings invigorating our services:

 Rabbi Sam Hollander – our new assistant rabbi will be co-officiating at services in the
sanctuary and leading the family service on the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah

 Cantor Saralee Shrell-Fox (from Minneapolis by way of Israel) will be helping to lead
services in the sanctuary and bringing some wonderful new melodies with her

 Our Jr. CRhooshirHleadshbaynEahlaiannadKarllasktauudeernwtsilal rme ainkeviatendetaorlyjosinantchteumaryonaptpheeasrtaenpcseoofnthbeotbhimah

for a featured song. Parents and children are encouraged to come to the sanctuary just
before 10:30AM for the song, and to be present for the shofar service and Torah
procession prior to the start of K-12 programming

 A second Preschool Family Service will be offered on Yom Kippur morning in addition
to the first one on the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah

 If you are looking for a brief “alternative” High Holy Day experience, Tami Astorino
will be offering an Outdoor Gathering & Meditation (two for adults and one for teens.
Details appear in this pamphlet

On the second day of Rosh Hashanah we will be encouraging everyone who comes for ser-
vices to sit in the sanctuary and foyer. On this day members who have assigned seats in the
sanctuary will be able to use those seats, but all of the remaining unassigned sanctuary seats
will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

As always, on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we are offering a number of programming
options for children and teens. If you have children, please remind them that they are
encouraged to be either in the sanctuary or in an age-appropriate service or program. On all
days, babysitting and the student programs will remain in session until the main service has
concluded.

This brochure highlights many of the wonderful and inclusive events that will be taking place
at Temple Sinai in the coming months. We hope you will join us in celebrating the start of
5780 and take advantage of our programming and many offerings in the New Year.

In advance of the holidays, we want to offer our thanks to the many people who have been
preparing to take part in our services or who, through their efforts, will be ensuring that our
services run smoothly so everyone is able to enjoy their time in shul. We also want to thank
you for being part of our Temple Sinai community.

On behalf of the Clergy, the Board of Directors and the professional staff, L’Shanah Tovah
Tikateivu - may you be inscribed for a good year!

Temple Sinai Men’s Club is an active segment of the synagogue which

promotes philanthropic, spiritual and social activities for its members and the
synagogue at large.

Open to all male synagogue members and fathers of pre-schoolers and religious
school students, our organization hosts a variety of appealing events.

Our wonderfully-successful Men in the Kitchen (MITK) catering service is an on-going,
in-house volunteer program which offers congregants a high-value and low-cost
alternative to external caterers for their simchas. MITK offers weekly volunteer
opportunities.

We engage the men of our congregation with fun social activities like Texas Hold’em
Poker Tournaments, Sunday brunches, a softball team, local outings and many others.

For more information, please visit: www.tsinai.com/mens-club

Hazak is the senior arm of the United Synagogue family. Its goal is to provide

social, religious, and learning opportunities for Jewish men and women age 55+.

Some of the ways through which we are involved in the life of Temple Sinai:
• Maintaining the synagogue’s library
• Presenting each Bar/Bat Mitzvah with a tzedakah box
• Participating in Pre-school and Camp Maccabee programs
• Volunteering in the community with bikkur cholim

Most of our monthly meetings begin with Sunday brunch followed by programs
chosen to increase knowledge and offer entertainment. In addition, we plan trips to
attend museum exhibits or performing arts offerings. These outings are priced
accordingly. Our dues are $20.00 per person per year.

For more information, please contact Marty Weiss,
Hazak Co-President at [email protected]
