Anne Niesenbaum - Trustee
Temple Sinai is my Sinai because it is the place where my family and I have come to find a second home with a second loving family. My husband Keith and I started coming to Temple Sinai when our children were quite small. and have continued through the years, until most recently. when we have been Zooming services, minyan, and classes. I learned Hebrew and became an adult Bat Mitzvah at Temple Sinai during the time my children were in Religious School. I joined with the rest of my family in mitzvot such as gleanings and gathering supplies for Mitzvah Morning. We love to bring food for the temple food drive while we are fasting on Yom Kippur.
The clergy at Temple Sinai are inspirational and take great interest in all of their congregants. They are learned teachers of Torah and Mishnah, not to mention more current topics of Judaic learning. They are extremely receptive to our lifelong love of learning, providing many interesting and relevant classes. We were fortunate enough to have our first trip to Israel as part of a group led by Rabbi White, and we will treasure the memories that we made. Rabbi Schachter enthusiastically leads us each week through the minyan service as we as bible study. Temple Sinai hosts book clubs, extraordinary guest speakers, and Israeli cooking demonstrations ... the list goes on and on.
