If These Walls Could Talk

“If These Walls Could Talk” is a self-guided walking tour that offers an immersive experience into the historical, spiritual, and religious significance of spaces and objects throughout Temple Sinai’s campus. Peruse the links below to read more and in many cases, listen to an audio recording of a Sinai congregant sharing a unique perspective on the space. We also invite you to visit Temple Sinai for a self guided tour using a map (or wandering freely and at your own pace) where you can scan the QR code at each numbered stop to hear a brief audio description, the text of which can also be read on your screen.
