Time Flies!
Four years, yes four years! Where did it go? It flew by so quickly that it is hard to pin down everything that has transpired over this time. Of Course, it has been a bumpy ride with the public health emergency taking over all our lives and making today, and the future, look very different […]
Nicer Weather – Bigger Projects
I hope everyone is doing well. I am excited that we can come together more and more. Of course, it will be nice to see more consistent “nicer” weather to enjoy the great outdoors, allowing us to not have to postpone fun programming due to this winter’s extraordinary snowfall. Over the next few months, and […]
L’Shanah Tovah
Dear Friends, I am going to keep this article short as I am sure you don’t want to hear me ramble on and on and then ramble some more during each of our High Holiday services — less than two weeks from now! Please remember that Temple Sinai is only as successful as you make […]
Feeling at Home Again
Temple Sinai is back in full swing, and it feels great! Have you had the chance to experience the feeling lately? There have been a few events in the past week and a few more events that you should look at joining us for. Shabbat services are live and in-person, and we are meeting new […]

Today, I find myself struggling to remember what life was like prior. […]

When you see me at meetings, you refer to me as the Temple President. When you watch Shabbat Service (and you don’t see me, but you know that I am there) I am that Audio Visual Tech guy. When you catch me changing burned-out lights, fixing a toilet, or maybe putting up the Sukkah, there […]
Choices and Decisions
As you all know – the challenges that we have faced have been many in deciding how to handle the information thrown at us on a daily basis when it comes to COVID. This will change with each new strain, and we know that there will be new strains to come. In early November, our […]
Opening Up
Happy Secular New Year and Merry Christmas to all our families that celebrate. I am just mesmerized by our community support not only for our Temple Sinai families but also to our greater Jewish Community in Northern Nevada as I saw so many of you at all the Hanukkah events this past week. Not only […]
Temple Sinai Will Always Shine Bright!
One of the things you quickly learn when you become president of a synagogue is just how much the majority of the congregation doesn’t see. You see finances and investments, you see the long-neglected back lot full of weeds, you see how much a congregation does for people and how much can be done for […]
