Welcome!

At Temple Sinai we pride ourselves on being a warm and welcoming community.  We are thrilled to be entering our 31^st year and welcoming our new rabbi - Annie Belford.

We are the only Reform congregation on the west side of Houston and we are a diverse community with members from different ethnicities, backgrounds and religious affiliations.  We are proud to be designated as an ADL “Community of Respect’® committed to creating an environment of respect and appreciation of all, both at Temple Sinai and in the greater Houston community.

We invite all to experience our myriad activities where you are sure to find something to suit your interests and needs: our services, our classes, our special events, our social gatherings, and our community celebrations.

Warm, Intimate Shabbat Services:  Our services are held on Friday nights and the second Saturday of each month, led by our new spiritual leader, Rabbi Annie Belford, and filled with song and friendship.

A Great School for Our Kids:  Our Religious School is known for its outstanding director, teachers and curriculum, offering programs and classes for children from pre-school age to B'Nai Mitzvah and through 12^th grade.  Our Post-confirmation class has been a huge success, providing a venue for young adults to discuss relevant issues including Israel and the Middle East, anti-Semitism, Sex and Jewish values, all in an open and respectful environment.

Interesting, Varied Adult Education Programs:  Our adult education program has offerings for a wide range of interests, including Hebrew classes, adult Bnai Mitzvah, Introduction to Judaism and a wide variety of seminars throughout the year.

A Place to Make Connections:  We have a vibrant Sisterhood and Brotherhood, and an active senior sisters program.  Our Youth Group enjoys a variety of activities on a local and regional level.

A Caring Community:  We have a devoted Caring Committee that ensures that congregants are being helped in times of need and distress.  We are also involved, through our Social Action work, in helping our community, whether building a home through Habitat for Humanity, visiting veterans at the VA Hospital, or working with the Westside Homeless Partnership every holiday season.

We have built a home of warmth and care, in which we study, socialize, pray and thrive.  You are invited to make our home your own!

We look forward to meeting you.
