Lay Leadership
Temple Sinai depends in large part on volunteers who give their time, energy and expertise in helping our mission move forward. Our Temple Board is comprised of a cross-section of members who meet on a monthly basis to discuss issues particular to the synagogue goals, membership and property. All board meetings are open to the entire membership.
The executive committee meets once a month in a closed session to review in more detail the concerns of the day, the financial health of the organization and long-range planning. Executive Committee members are elected every two years.
