Temple Sinai of Palm Beach
County is a mid-sized Reform Jewish congregation. We are located
conveniently about a quarter of a mile west of I-95 on West Atlantic Avenue.
Just minutes from downtown Delray Beach, we, in fact, are the only Reform congregation within
the city limits of Delray.
In
1978, after
meeting in various homes, a small group of committed Jewish families
residing in Delray Beach recognized the need for a Reform Jewish Congregation in
our
community and proceeded to take steps to establish one.
Religious services for a number of years were held in various churches in the area. And
as a
result of a growing membership, the congregation broke ground for its own place
of worship on May 22, 1983. Temple Sinai of Palm Beach County was dedicated on August 12, 1984.
Our Director of Religious Education
is Steve Osher, and our Pre-School Director is Lois Wachtel. Their
profiles are on the
Our Educators page.
Like many traditional synagogues, Temple Sinai
is operated by Officers and a Board of Trustees. It
is supported by a Committee structure of volunteers who each run their
area of interest and representatives from the Sisterhood and Brotherhood.
We encourage all members to
become active
on a Committee to optimize their overall Temple Sinai experience.
We publish a monthly newsletter,
The Tablet,
for our membership. It is filled with information and articles each
month (see link on menu) such as the calendar of events, holiday schedules and
unique columns from our Clergy, Temple Officers and congregants.
For so many of us, Temple Sinai is a cherished
"Home Away From Home." Please come and visit with us and share the "Magic of
Temple Sinai"!
