Services
Services at Sinai Temple are rooted in tradition, but are always turning outward to establish a link with the modern world. This underscores the relevance of living a Jewish life in today's society.
Services are held each Friday night throughout the year. In order to be sure about the service time on a given Friday night, we recommend that you check the monthly Temple Bulletin for which there is a link on our home page, or listen to the Friday afternoon message on our telephone (413-736-3619). We pride ourselves on creating services that are joyful and highly participatory. We also offer a variety of worship styles which speak to the varying needs and interests of our congregation. We hope each of our services is also “family friendly;” i.e. young people are welcome!
We have an adult choir that sings several times a year. Children are invited to join “Shir Fun,” which is the young people’s choir that performs just about monthly.
Fridays and Saturdays at Sinai:
Friday Evening Service Times
Starting in February, we are adjusting the times for Friday evening services. (We are actually returning to times similar to those in past years. We’ve just taken our 8 p.m. service back to a starting time of 7:30 p.m.)
You can know what times services are by remembering our “mantra” that reads:
76 – 7:30
Watch the Bulletin for details. Our Answering Machine will have the correct time for each service each Friday afternoon.
Saturday Morning Services
Every Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m.
Since September 2009, Sinai has developed a regular weekly Shabbat morning service. Even when there isn’t a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, there is a Saturday morning service (complete with the Yahrzeit list) starting at 10:30 a.m. The Shabbat service with a Bar/Bat Mitzvah takes place in the sanctuary. The Shabbat service when there is no Bar/Bat Mitzvah takes place in the Oneg Shabbat Room.
Come try us out.
Any Friday night is a good Sinai night.
Any Saturday morning is a good Sinai morning.
