For a very special Mother’s Day, why not make an overnight trip to New York City with Temple Sinai on May 10 and 11? While we all have mothers, you don’t have to be a mother to join us! We’ll visit many of the most important Jewish sites on the Lower East Side, take in a Jewish-themed museum, and worship with our Reform friends at the unforgettable Central Synagogue. You’ll need to make your travel arrangements yourself, but we’ll suggest a hotel and plan the itinerary. Contact cantordeborah@templesinairi.org with questions or to register. |
