Call for singers!
It's time to start rehearsing for the High Holiday choir, and we're looking for singers.
No need to be an expert music reader--the songs will have practice recordings. The only requirement is that you be able to carry a tune and keep a beat. It's fun, it's meaningful, and you'll learn a lot about the service.

Tisha B’Av - The Revolt of Job Film Screening
This year, to commemorate Tisha B’Av, we will be holding a viewing of the beautiful, haunting Hungarian film set just before the Holcaust: The Revolt of Job. Tisha B’Av commemorates many of the most tragic events in Jewish history, from the destruction of both Temples , to the Spanish Expulsion and the Final Solution.
We will have a short ceremony of remembrance, and then view the film.
Afterward, we will have a short discussion. (Since Tisha b’Av is a fast day, there won’t be food.)
Trivia Night at Temple Sinai!
Come shmooze and share your collection of random Jewish knowledge!
Security Awareness & Preparedness with CJP

About CJP:
Temple Sinai, in collaboration with Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP), is committed to building a highly engaged, interconnected Jewish community. CJP invests in the care and well-being of our community, the stability and growth of our local organizations, and in research, innovation, and collaborations that make a meaningful impact locally, in Israel, and beyond.
As part of this work, CJP created the Communal Security Initiative (CSI) to provide no-cost, professional security advice, services, and resources to meet the safety and security needs of the community through educating, engaging, and empowering them. CSI also encourages other faith-based organizations to attend our training programs.
BeAware and De-Escalating Training
This 90-minute session offers a comprehensive training program developed specifically for faith-based institutions.
BeAware Situational Awareness Training improves situational awareness and provides the foundation for security training — benefiting personal and organizational security.

Topics covered:
Enhancing situational awareness
Identifying safety and security threats
Recognizing and reporting suspicious activity
Learning how to be an active participant in the safety of your community
De-escalation Training equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to defuse or reduce tension, hostility, or conflict and increase personal safety. This training is beneficial to volunteer greeters, synagogue staff, school staff, and anyone in a public-facing role.
Topics covered:
Identifying the initial indicators of escalating behaviors, both verbal and non-verbal
Demonstrating de-escalation best practices to include active listening, empathizing, verbal diffusion, de-escalation phrases, non-confrontational body language, and facial expressions
Developing techniques to manage personal emotions in challenging situations to maintain composure and clear thinking
Understanding how cultural and mental health sensitivity can help de-escalation efforts
This session includes a PowerPoint presentation, videos, and practice scenarios to reinforce central concepts.
