What Our Members Have To Say
-
Janice Orlansky
"As soon as you enter Temple Sinai you will be greeted by friendly and welcoming people. People of all faiths, genders, and backgrounds are part of our community and are made to feel comfortable in sharing their uniqueness. It’s the dynamism of our congregation that is so attractive to me. As VP of Sisterhood, I am able to contribute a small part to this forward-thinking and ever-expanding congregation.”

Steve & Patty Greenfield
“My wife Patty and I have been Temple Sinai members for many years and we find Temple continues to be a diverse, accepting, energetic, welcoming spiritual community. The more we have given of ourselves to Temple, the more we have received in return. Our participation has included committee and auxiliary leadership, Temple governance and attendance at the numerous events and services Temple offers, and these have always made our Temple connections deeper and richer.”

Hannah Weiss
“I came to Temple Sinai because I was looking for a reformed, spiritual Jewish congregation. I stayed because I not only found that, but also found myself surrounded by open-minded, motivated, committed members, an inspirational and humble Rabbi, and a growing young-Jewish-adult community. I’m proud to consider myself a member of Temple Sinai.”

Chase, Religious School Student
“At Temple Sinai, I found an inclusive and friendly Jewish community. I appreciated that my Hebrew School teachers didn't just teach me Hebrew; they taught me what it means to be Jewish.”
“When I enter Temple Sinai, I feel embraced by the warm spirit and energy of this congregation. I raised my 4 children here and Temple Sinai gave them a firm foundation to go forth in the world. As President of the Congregation, I love that we are working every day to make Temple Sinai a great place for great Jewish conversations.”

“I LOVE Hebrew School because it’s fun and we get to be together with other kids.”
— Emi Boray
“I’m "spiritual" but definitely not "religious." I didn’t even know I was looking for a faith-based community 15-years ago as our children were being born. Today, after experiencing so many life-cycle events, I can’t imagine life without Temple Sinai. I have found a community where independent thinking, as well as how I treat my friends and neighbors, is valued above all else; where deep friendships have been made; where Rabbi links current events and attitudes with Torah; where dancing and singing as a community are profound activities; and where reaching out to members, to the Greater Burlington community and, indeed, the world--things I think of as engaging with life--whether as part of Chaverim or Social Action are done on a daily basis. And all this is possible because of the brilliance and open-mindedness of our Rabbi. All I can say is to come walk the walk and talk the talk with us at Temple Sinai.”
