Open to all, this course is designed for interfaith couples, spiritual seekers, individuals considering conversion, and Jews of all stripes who want a meaningful adult Jewish learning experience.

Learning from Our Clergy
Temple Sinai offers multiple opportunities to learn from our clergy every month. From Melton classes on Tuesdays, Wednesday night learning over a glass of wine, Torah Study each Saturday morning and monthly lunch & learns over food, we offer a variety of stimulating conversations on topics across the Jewish world. Visit our calendar to find something that interests you.
Sinai & Navon Film Series
Temple Sinai has two different film series throughout the year. The long-running Temple Sinai Film Series strives to bring an eclectic mix of films and pair them with a thematic speaker and/or event on Sunday evenings. The NAVON film series (our 65+ community) often meets on weekdays and focuses on different themes.
Living Room Limud
Welcome to Living Room Limud, one of our most intimate and meaningful offerings. Interested in hosting your friends and acquaintances for learning in your own living room? Have you ever wanted to discuss a certain idea with your clergy and fellow congregants? Jewish ethics? Music? Israel? Philosophy? Reach out to Rabbi Natan Trief to learn more and schedule your event.
Philip N. Kranz Learning Center
The Rabbi Philip N. Kranz Learning Center is the heart of Jewish learning at Temple Sinai. Named in honor of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, this vibrant space is home to a rich and diverse collection of Jewish literature, open to all Temple Sinai members and guests from the wider community.
Hebrew Study
Whether Hebrew in an Instant, prayer-book Hebrew, or conversational Hebrew, we strive to offer different possibilities for Hebrew learning throughout the year. Please contact Rabbi Natan Trief for more information on different Hebrew offerings.
Israel
My heart is in the East though I find myself on the edge of the West. These 1000-year-old words by Spanish-Jewish poet Yehuda HaLevi encapsulate the perpetual Jewish orientation toward Jerusalem and Israel. Though we find ourselves living in the Diaspora, we still feel a yearning toward our homeland and an intense connection to her well-being. Our clergy all strive to foster a genuine connection to Israel for Temple Sinai members.
