A new cycle of reading the Torah begins soon…When was the last time you read the entire Torah through over the course of a year? Have you ever noticed how frequently the weekly reading seems to give insight into exactly what is going on in the world and/or your life? This is the year to join our Temple Sinai Torah study and discuss the portion each week!

Rabbi Michael Schwartz will guide our discussions bringing the Torah’s words alive through traditional and modern commentators and our own insights through discussion.

Cantor David's Retirement Tribute Celebration
2022-06-25 00:00 - 2022-06-26 23:59
For over 32 years, Cantor David Aronson and his family have been an integral part of Temple Sinai. Please join us as we celebrate his dedication at two separate events.
On Saturday, June 25, 2022, at 9:30 AM, David will sing and chant the Shabbat morning services. The services will be interspersed with informal tributes and will be followed by a Kiddush. There will be no fee for attending services or the Kiddush, however the Kiddush will be limited to 120 individuals.
On Sunday, June 26, 2022, at 5 PM, David will be feted at a dinner celebration that will also include tributes and wonderful memories. The fee for the dinner will be $90.00 per person. Dinner will include appetizers, salad, a main course and dessert. Wine and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the dinner price.
We will also honor David with the presentation of a Tribute Book at the dinner. Everyone is cordially invited to add a personal message to the tribute book when an accompanying donation is made. The proceeds will establish the new David Aronson Celebration fund. On an annual or biannual basis, David will choose an event that he believes meet the criteria for a celebration (examples include hosting music, offsetting the costs for a Jewish Film Festival, and museum trips).
Please RSVP using the separate, attached response forms by June 10, 2022. The third form should be used for personal messages. The deadlines are necessary to allow sufficient time to prepare the Kiddush, the Dinner and the Tribute Book. Thank you for your consideration.

Temple Sinai Summer Festival on the Hill
Sunday, June 12 2022
12-5
Join Temple Sinai of Marblehead for its first Temple Sinai Summer Festival On The Hill on Sunday, June 12th from 12-5. This outdoor event will feature live music and art by local professionals and emerging artists, creative activities for children, lots of great food and an opportunity to meet and celebrate the season with the Temple Sinai community.
Live entertainment will include Shir Davíd, a five-piece Jewish Reggae band playing powerful,
soulful music rooted in Jewish tradition infused with reggae and world rhythms. With the spiritual
power of ancient prayer, Shir Davíd adds a contemporary edge to traditional prayers and songs
and delivers a dynamic set of sophisticated and moving original pieces.
Another band to grace the stage will be a group led by Rabbi Michael Schwartz’s son, Yami who
will be bringing a Berklee College of Music ensemble to play some of Israel’s timeless classic
rock songs infused with hints of funk and jazz.
The long-standing North Shore Israeli Dance Group will be leading some participatory dancing
and there will be percussion and Israeli dance performances by student clubs from Epstein Hillel
School, led by their talented teachers.
The entertainment schedule is still growing, so stay tuned.
In addition to the live entertainment, there will be tables featuring artists, authors, clubs and
organizations connected to Temple Sinai including a plant sale by the Garden Committee, fresh
honey and maple syrup from Misty Meadow Farms, beautifully knitted bears and hats for sale by
the Knitting Club with proceeds supporting the Linus Project, as well as informational tables
featuring some the hallmark endeavors of the Social Action and Adult Education Committees,
as well as the long-standing work of the Sisterhood and Brotherhood.
The Temple Sinai Summer Festival is free and open to the public. Come visit our home on the
hill for some fun in the sun.
