I would LOVE to Join or Learn More about a Committee

Our committees are the places where we “create” Sinai Temple. We brainstorm and plan and give life to all the possible aspects of a Temple community. Please consider joining one of our committees or just feel free to visit a single meeting to see what is happening. You can learn about the next meeting of any committee by calling the Temple Office 736-3619. You can also email the Office.
