We strive to make Temple Sinai a sukkat shalom, a shelter of peace through personal and spiritual renewal and connection with one another and with God.
Our congregation began in 1959 when two-dozen families came together to establish a new Reform congregation in the Rochester, New York area. Their goal to create a synagogue that lived up to Reform Jewish values and that provided a safe and inclusive environment for Jewish spiritual, educational and social fulfillment remains strong and vibrant today
Temple Sinai is a dynamic religious institution, which is continually evolving and growing to meet the needs of congregants and the Jewish people. The congregation is dedicated to upholding the principles of Reform Judaism for this and future generations. We foster Jewish identity and values through individual and group connection to God, Torah, the Jewish people and the land of Israel. We affirm our congregation’s ethical and social responsibilities to our community, our nation and the world. We are committed to providing support and care for our congregational family. We welcome and encourage participation in Temple life.
