Partnership in Temple Sinai
2009-2010 / 5769-5770

      

In 1956 a few families came together dreaming about a congregation of spiritual Jews involved in an educational, religious, and social program that would support their Judaism. They envisioned beautiful buildings in which to gather and a staff to lead them at an uncompromising level of excellence and service. They strived to create a religious center for the North Dade Jewish community. Through the constant support, both moral and financial, of dedicated and committed congregants, that dream became a reality, and the reality surpassed all hopes.

That dream remains alive in the hearts, minds and hands of our current congregants. Temple Sinai continues to be a center of Jewish life and learning. Our wish is that you will share the joys of Judaism with us through your partnership involvement. Temple Sinai nurtures souls for a fuller Jewish life.

Temple Sinai is situated on a magnificent 14-acre wooded campus on the Oleta River in North Miami Beach. A sense of serenity and natural beauty enhance the architectural integrity of the Carolyn Kemelhor Campus with the award-winning Feinbloom Sanctuary at its center.

If there is any way we can make your partnership more meaningful, please speak to our professional staff. Rabbi Alan E. Litwak, Rabbi David N. Young and Cantor Michael Kruk are our spiritual leaders. Our Senior Staff also includes Susan Warech, Director of Administration, Dani Einsohn, Director of Development, and David Prashker, Director of Education. Temple Sinai is a welcoming community, open to any person regardless of ability to pay the scheduled partnership commitment (dues). We will work with you to make your partnership possible. We are all ready and able to assist you in embracing Temple Sinai as your spiritual and religious community.

Our Partnership Application

Temple Sinai invites individuals and couples ages 22-35 without children to join our congregation and/or receive High Holy Day tickets with no formal partnership commitment (dues) required.  We welcome interfaith and interracial couples as well as GLBT.  Inquires should be directed to Debbie Bloomfield.

All new partners are required to make a commitment of $1800 to our Building Maintenance Fund. The suggested payment is $300 per year for six years, beginning in the second year of partnership. Any partner who elects to pay this commitment in full during the first year of partnership will receive a discount of $300. Young families may defer their first payment until their oldest child is in second grade; however the commitment must be fulfilled prior to the oldest child becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

We ask that partners pay at least 25% of their commitment (dues) prior to September 1 in order to receive High Holy Day tickets. All fees must be current, unless you have made other arrangements with staff, prior to a family’s celebration of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Wedding at Temple Sinai. 

Temple Sinai is in the forefront of our community in implementing the highest level possible of safety and security. This is for the protection of all who enter the campus as well as for the protection of our physical plant. Our staff and lay leadership are fully committed to maintaining our high standards.
