TEMPLE SINAI
CARING COMMITTEE

The Caring Committee of Temple Sinai is committed to extending the support of our congregation to all Temple members in need, or to those experiencing difficult life events. If you, or another Temple member you know, might benefit from a meal, a visit, a ride, or some other support, please contact Rabbi Bernstein, or leave a message with June to inform the committee.


FROM THE RELIGIOUS SCHOOL DIRECTOR

The first time a child leads services can be challenging. The third graders rose to that challenge and did an outstanding job leading services on May 14. I was so proud of all of them! Thank you to their teacher, Tali Mugg, for preparing them so well! 

This was a very exciting year for our school.  On Wednesdays, the students really enjoyed their electives. The Sinai High class got to spend a lot of time with our Israeli emissaries, Hadas and Itai.  It was a mutually rewarding experience!  The inaugural year for our post-Confirmation was great!  We had a balance of class time and community service, while maintaining our connections to one another.  I look forward to working with the wonderful group of teens next year!  While it is sad to say good bye to our seniors, I welcome our Confirmation class to this group.

Our last day of Religious School was fun-filled!!  Each class filled in their page for our annual “Memory Book” and wrote letters to their Tzedakah recipients.  Then we mixed up the classes and did Shavuot activities. The Zimriyah was great!  And what a blast it was to join in for Tot Shabbat!  Afterwards, we enjoyed perfect weather for our picnic!  What an awesome way to end the school year!

I would like to thank Jackie Eagle and the members of the school committee for their dedication to our school and programs!

Have a wonderful summer!

 A very special Todah Rabah from the teachers to the parents and students of the Religious School for the fabulous spa baskets!

Director of Education

DIVREI HALEV

"THANK YOU, 
PRESIDENT MARCY OSTROW "

The tenure of Temple Sinai’s twenty-fourth president, Marcy Ostrow, will be coming to a close at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday, June 2, at 7:30 p.m. We all extend to Marcy a deep sense of gratitude for her many years of service to the Temple, the Board, and most certainly for the past two years of her devoted leadership. Marcy took over shortly before the major stock market crash in September of 2008 and it has been a most difficult two years for anyone in a leadership position, especially in a non-profit organization, be it a synagogue or a social service agency. Despite the hard times and the formidable challenges that Marcy, the Officers and Board have faced, Marcy’s enthusiasm, passion and joyous demeanor have all contributed beautifully to the financial viability and the success of these past two years.

Marcy experienced a personal setback in her Hadassah leadership position in these past two years. She was one of a select number of women in our area who were tapped by Hadassah for leadership development. While Marcy successfully completed her program, an Israel trip sponsored by Hadassah was part of that training. With the economic setbacks of Hadassah during these years, the Israel trip was canceled and that was of great disappointment to Marcy and the other Hadassah leaders. True to form, Marcy picked up the pieces and carried on, indicative of the perseverance and tenacity of our President.

It is fun to be around Marcy.  Her humor is contagious and her manner is delightful. That should not overshadow the depth of leadership skill and knowledge of Temple that Marcy demonstrates and holds. She is as rooted in, and dedicated to, this Temple as much as any of our leaders. We will all miss Marcy and those who are leaving the Board who have served with her.

We welcome with open arms, our new President, Gary Englander, and those officers, Trustees and Board Members who will join Gary at this most important time of transition in our Temple’s history. Gary stands on the shoulders of those who have gone before him, as did Marcy. May Temple Sinai continue to go from strength to strength.

 
Rabbi Seth L. Bernstein
