Jewish education is a life-long process. It is our responsibility to nurture and enhance each student's commitment to Jewish identity, knowledge, and practice. We encourage and support each family to make its home a Mikdash Me'at, a Small Sanctuary.We work to make the synagogue a learning community,in which the student feels a part of an extended family. Learning must lead to action in the Jewish and world communities, so that students see themselves as partners with God in repairing the world.

Linked to this vision, the educational programs at Temple Sinai embrace formal learning and experimental activities, encouraging children, young people, and adults to become...

1. Jews who affirm their Jewish identity as they strive to realize their divine potential.

   B. Jews whose characters and deeds are shaped by the values and tzedak/righteousness, mishpat/justice and chased/compassion, andﾠunderstand that these values of the essence of Torah.

3. Jews who affirm their bond to Israel, their kinship with the community of Jews throughout the world today and their commitment to a Jewish future.
