Lehrman Rabbinic Garden
As part of the enhanced Lehrman Rabbinic Garden which our community has enjoyed for the past few years, we are delighted to share the addition of a beautiful and artistic new space to recognize donors that will be installed on the sitting wall behind David’s Harp. Designed to complement the space’s beauty, this wall and the addition of the tasteful markers will provide members the opportunity to commemorate milestones, honor loved ones, and more, while simultaneously helping to ensure Sinai’s continued rabbinic strength.
Your participation in this special initiative will not only preserve the legacy of those you cherish it will also help to ensure the future of our rabbinic leadership and continue to build and strengthen the vibrant and sustainable community we all enjoy.
Yahrzeit Memorial Board
Prominently displayed outside the doors of the Freeman Family Chapel, this original work of art not only beautifies our space but it also embodies the very spirit of our congregation. The highlight of this striking piece of Judaica is the use of nameplates to recall those whose death seems all too recent. In this regard the piece is indicative and reflective of Temple Sinai, a synagogue community sustained and nurtured over our year history. Those who wish to commemorate the deep significance of the life of a loved one have inscribed the nameplates on the art piece lovingly. So, too, with our congregation: our synagogue community is comprised of loved ones who have chosen to recall relationships of significance within these walls. Purchasing and inscribing a nameplate will link your loved one to the many other family members and friends in our community. Future generations will read these inscriptions with pride, telling the stories of the individuals who have come before. They will gain insight into what is most important to this generation: taking the time to celebrate the people we love and the lasting contribution they made.
Tree of Life
Displayed prominently on the wall of our Temple Sinai lobby is a sculpture of a tree; the leaves emblazoned with names, dates and occasions of happiness and joy. Our Tree of Life is a significant marker of simchas that have occurred in the lives of Temple Sinai congregants – births, Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies, engagements, weddings and anniversaries. This unique work of art embodies the spirit of our congregation – a pleasant and peaceful reminder of the joy, sacredness and community that defines Temple Sinai. As the tree branches grow and flourish, so too do the connections of our families to each other and to future generations.
