tzedakah boxTemple Sinai has a long and rich heritage of tzedakah, consistent with our Jewish tradition to express charity and feelings of joy and sorrow by way of monetary contribution. Such giving often occurs at lifecycle events such as birthdays, B’nai Mitzvah, weddings, anniversaries, births and deaths. We hope you too, will think of Temple Sinai during the special times in your life.

We have a variety of donation options from which to choose. Your contribution, whatever the size, is always appreciated and will help Temple Sinai sustain spiritual, cultural and educational programs for its members and the community at large. If you have any questions, please contact the temple office at 781-784-6081 or via email.
