Caring & Service at Temple Sinai

At Temple Sinai, we are committed to building a caring community—one that shows up for each other during times of greatest need and moments of greatest joy. Through a variety of support programs, we strive to care for our fellow congregants and the broader Jewish community with compassion, dignity, and purpose. Whether offering a warm meal, a healing prayer, or a comforting visit, we believe acts of kindness are at the heart of sacred community. Below are some of the ways you can receive support or take part in supporting others.

Current Caring/Service Programs

Mi Shebeirach (Healing Prayers)

Each Shabbat, we recite the Mi Shebeirach—a prayer for healing of body, mind, and spirit. This prayer includes names of congregants, family, and friends who are in need of healing. If you would like to add a name to the healing list, please use this online form.

Welcoming a new baby? Recovering from surgery or illness? Our volunteers are ready to deliver nourishing meals to support you. We also invite congregants to join the meal provider list—no ongoing commitment, just an extra meal now and then. Contact the rabbis if you’d like to receive or offer support.

Being homebound doesn’t mean being forgotten. Our caring team offers in-person visits and shares homemade soup to uplift spirits and nourish connection. To schedule a visit for yourself or someone you know, reach out to the rabbis.

Our Bikkur Cholim Brigade offers compassionate, pastoral visits to those who are ill or recovering—at home, in the hospital, or elsewhere. These visits are rooted in the mitzvah of bringing comfort and connection to those facing health challenges. Let us know if you or someone you care about would welcome a visit.

In times of loss, we are here to walk beside you. Our Caring Committee can help coordinate a condolence meal at the synagogue, as well as shiva observance in your home. Please contact the rabbis or the Temple Office for support.
