Aufruf
When our members or their children are about to wed, either here or elsewhere, we always invite them up to the bimah during a Friday evening service preceding their wedding, for special blessings. This is our communal way of celebrating with the happy couple.

A wedding at Temple Sinai
All of our clergy officiate at weddings, both in the synagogue and at other locations. Couples should contact the clergy directly to discuss premarital counseling and the ceremony. We particularly welcome the opportunity to talk with interfaith couples.

If you would like to talk about a wedding here at Temple Sinai, please email us at templesinai@tsnd.org or call us at 305.932.9010 and the Rabbi or our Director of Administration, Susan Warech, will be happy to talk with you about the possibilities.

In Judaism, the marital union provides a way for us to experience holiness in our daily lives. According to our mystical tradition, we can only behold the Shechinah, the Divine Presence, when we are in loving partnership (Zohar vol. 3, “Aharei Mot”). – See more here
