Annual Appeal

Make your gift here

March 12, 2025

Dear Temple Sinai Family,

We hope this letter finds you well. As we begin another year of inspiring worship services, innovative programming, and inclusive community events at Temple Sinai, we are writing to share an important update about our annual fundraising and to ask for your support.

This year, guided by the unique circumstances we are navigating as a congregation and as a community, we made the carefully considered decision not to hold our traditional annual fundraising event.

Instead, to help sustain our general operating budget, we are reaching out to our generous members, who have supported past events such as Open Doors, the Torah Project, or Sinai 75, to ask for your continued commitment. Your contributions this year will serve the same vital purpose as those events: supporting our expenses including programming; our Friday night, Saturday Minyan, and shiva services; our music; outreach and Tikkun Olam; our diversity and inclusion programs; as well as guest clergy, speakers, and other initiatives that enrich our community. By contributing to this annual appeal, you ensure that Temple Sinai remains a vibrant, inclusive, and spiritually fulfilling home for all of us.

We understand that this is a change from past years, and we are deeply grateful for your understanding. Your generosity has always been the foundation of our community’s strength, and it is needed now more than ever as we continue to navigate these transition times together.

Please consider supporting your congregation by making a gift to our annual operating appeal. Your support, at any level, will make a significant difference in helping us fulfill our mission and sustain the meaningful work we do at Temple Sinai.

Thank you for being an integral part of our community. Together, we can ensure that Temple Sinai remains a source of inspiration and connection for all who walk through our doors.

With gratitude,

Rabbi Daniel J. Fellman,
Senior Rabbi

Stephen Jurman,
President
