Our Mission: Temple Sinai is dedicated to enhancing Jewish life by providing religious, educational, and social programs that reflect the values, customs, and traditions of the Reform Movement. We are a warm, friendly and vibrant community where friendship and caring are combined with religious faith, ritual observance, social interaction, and education for children and adults.
 Rabbi Belford Temple Sinai is pleased to welcome Anne E. Belford as its new rabbi. A native Texan, Belford joined the 30-year-old congregation on July 1.
Rabbi Annie, as she is affectionately known by her congregants, was born and raised in El Paso. A graduate of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, she received her rabbinical ordination from Hebrew-Union College in New York City in 2004.
For the past five years, Belford has served as an assistant and associate rabbi for Congregation Shaare Emeth in St. Louis, Missouri.
“We are thrilled to have Rabbi Annie join Temple Sinai,” said congregation president Emily Deakins. “She is a deeply caring and compassionate individual who connects with people emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.”
