Welcome
to Temple Sinai
A Reform
Congregation Serving the Greater Hartford Area
Temple Sinai is a
reform congregation serving the spiritual and community needs of the
Jewish community in the Greater Hartford area. We continue to be a
growing, vibrant congregation offering a responsive environment for
spiritual needs, educational growth, and social interaction. Today,
over 400 families and individuals from 25 communities comprise our
membership: families with young children at home, single-parent
families, the newly married, empty nesters, retirees, and single
adults. We welcome the membership of intermarried couples,
nontraditional families, and those who want to better understand and
participate in Jewish life.
Our vision:
Temple
Sinai
is a caring spiritual community, rooted in Reform Jewish practice and
values. Acceptance, respect, and connection are at the foundation of
our inclusive congregation. We embrace the rich diversity of race,
ethnicity and sexual orientation of our members and fully welcome our
interfaith families.
We are a community
committed to study (Torah), worship (Avodah) and acts of loving
kindness (Gemilut Hasidim) in an effort to become closer to God.
Our congregation is engaged in formal and informal learning at
all stages of life for the purpose of creating a robust and
progressive Jewish identity. Our worship is joyful, participatory and
filled with music to uplift the soul. Our emphasis on
תיקון עולם (Tikkun Olam, repairing the world) connects us to our own community, to
Israel
and to the larger world through volunteerism and social activism.
We provide the
spiritual, educational and communal opportunities to learn, lead and
grow our Jewish practice within the context of a vibrant congregation
that passes its experience from generation to generation.
