Israel Resources Hub
Many in our community have described their shock, grief and worry following the unprecedented events in Israel and Gaza that began on 7th October 2023. The Jewish community and our congregation is working to keep us safe and demonstrate our support for all those affected by these tragic events.
The Temple Sinai Board is here and available to support you however possible. We encourage you to contact us if you need support or information. We are always open to hearing how you think Temple Sinai can play a meaningful role in helping our members and friends.
