TOT SHABBAT & Shabbat b'simcha SERVICES

Held on the first Friday of most months, Tot Shabbat begins at 6PM and runs approximately 30 minutes.  It is followed by a pot-luck dinner at 6:30 PM (subject to change if COVID-19 levels are high).  Then at 7:30PM is our Shabbat B'Simcha service.  This service is popular among our young families, and often features a particular grade of student participation from our Religious School.

Mishpacha Meet-ups

Mishpacha (Family) Meet-ups is a group of families at Temple Sinai with school-aged children, but all are welcome. Our goal is to get to know each other, build a community, and feel more “at home” in the temple. Past events have included Shabbat dinners and services at Lake Massapoag, game nights at the Temple, and volunteering for School on Wheels and Cradles to Crayons.
