What Our Members Have To Say
“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.”
— Susan Leff
“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.”
