It's a Girl (In Case You Didn't Know)

Mazel Tov to Rabbi Annie and Family

With open arms and great big hugs, Temple Sinai is thrilled to welcome our newest member, Ahava.  Ahava joined our congregation last evening at 5:14 pm and Rabbi Annie and Ari were, of course, the first to welcome her.  She was born 6 lbs. 10 Oz, 20.5” tall, and absolutely beautiful.  All five members of the Belford/Vernon family:  Mom, Dad, Lev, Eiden and Ahava are doing fine and could not be happier.  Ahava has been the most anxiously awaited new member in the Temple’s history and we will all get to meet her when she makes her first appearance at Temple Sinai on Friday evening, March 9th.  Details will be forthcoming.

 

Mazel Tov to Rabbi Annie, Ari and the whole Belford/Vernon family.

 

Jewish Federation investing in Temple Sinai

 

Jewish Federation investing in
Temple Sinai, Beth Israel, Beth Yeshurun and Emanu El schools
 
 

The Jewish Federation is partnering with PELIE, Partnership for Effective Learning and Innovative Education, to provide funding for our synagogue/congregational school to participate in the first cohort of Houston schools using the JSASIP, the Jewish School Assessment School Improvement Process. The JSASIP is an effective comprehensive tool used in Jewish communities across North America to assess their schools’ effectiveness and assist in developing an improvement plan. This tool creates a snapshot of the synagogue/school culture, makes the invisible visible, describes best practices in synagogue schools, and provides a shared vocabulary about synagogue school practices for community stakeholders.
