Religious
Education
Temple Sinai
provides many educational opportunities for all members of the
congregation.

School begins on September 7.
A strong
commitment to Jewish education is reflected in Temple Sinai's
progressive Religious school program. Along with the approved
URJ
curriculum, our faculty
accentuates Judaism through experience. Students may meet with a
community group, participate in children's plays or musical events, or
partake in a model Seder. We strive to give our children a true sense
of community as they learn Hebrew, traditions, history and ethics. The
Religious school teaches the children to actively celebrate their
Judaism so that it becomes a part of their lives. The Rabbi, the
Director and the Religious school Board provide direction for the
program.
The Religious
School can be reached at extension 15 on the Temple's phone system.
School
cancellations will be listed with WTIC 1080AM and WFSB Channel 3.

"Once a
month, we do meet,

Temple Sinai has
a Sunday school class for special needs children who have
developmental disabilities. The class focuses on the spirit and ideals
of the Jewish holidays and Jewish life through the sharing of prayers,
rituals and songs. Holidays are presented through the use of music,
stories, games and other creative techniques of communicating these
concepts. For additional information, please call Joyce Sturm in the
Temple office. Check back for new classes to be offered.

We are well
underway in expanding our adult education at Temple Sinai. We
currently offer two on-going learning opportunities:
Torah study every Shabbat morning at 9:00 a.m. and Current Events
on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 12:30 p.m. We also invite guest
speakers for some Friday evening services, as well as Sunday morning
speakers and Saturday evening activities.
Adult Hebrew Classes
Our Cantor, Donna
Gordon, offers three classes:
-
Prayer Book
Hebrew, a basic course
-
Basic Biblical
Hebrew, for those who can read Hebrew well but not translate it or
have graduated from the Prayer Book Hebrew class
-
Biblical
Hebrew, a more advanced course for those who can read and translate
Hebrew
Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah
Searching for a spiritual experience?
Want to fulfill a lifelong dream? Want to affirm or reaffirm your
Jewish commitment? Come explore the process of becoming an adult
Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Please call the Temple office for more information.
As we explore
possibilities for future programs, some of our most exciting ideas
are, unfortunately, bigger than our budget. As a way of supporting our
learning opportunities, we would like to suggest that members of our
Temple community wishing to honor a loved one or a special occasion
may do so by underwriting a special event or speaker. Please call the
Temple office if you’d like more information about this.
Many thanks to
the hard-working Adult Education Committee. Please join in by coming
and learning with us!
