A small, Reform congregation affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism.  Temple Sinai was formed in 1958 to offer a warm and friendly sanctuary, where congregants and community members alike would feel "at home." Life long friendships are made at Temple Sinai.

Over the years Temple Sinai, its leadership and membership have strived to preserve our commitment to maintain the sense of "extended family."  With 2009, Temple Sinai's 50th anniversary year, our entire congregation has reaffirmed its original mission. A warm atmosphere where all are welcomed to worship, a responsive membership, meaningful outreach, and an active social and educational calendar, combine to meet the needs of Temple Sinai's diverse family membership and friends.

A vital force in the South Shore Jewish community, Temple Sinai provides "open door" Shabbat services for all to attend, Holiday programs and traditions, religious and continuing education, community involvement, trips and special events, and a strong sense of "belonging." Member children receive Bar and Bat Mitzvah education in small class settings overseen by Rabbi Janise Poticha, leading to becoming b'nai mitzvah

Shabbat and Holiday services encourage both personal contemplation and warm, social interaction. In keeping with our joyous Sabbath tradition, we conclude each Friday night service with Kiddush and sweets at our Oneg Shabbat, hosted by a member family to celebrate a special event or honor loved ones.

Worship is conducted on Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m. The first Friday night of the month is our Family Service, which starts at 7:30 p.m. Bar/Bat Mitzvah Services are held on select Saturdays at 10:15 a.m. Services are also held on High Holy Days.

Temple Sinai is affiliated with the South East Nassau Synagogue Enterprise (SENSE), a group of seven South Shore synagogues working together to better serve the local Jewish community with cooperative programs and cultural events, to address issues that affect our Jewish community, promote Jewish ideals and values, and foster a sense of K'lal Yisrael.

Temple Sinai is located at 270 Clocks Blvd., south of Merrick Road, on the border of Massapequa and Amityville, on the waterfront. You can reach Temple Sinai at 516-795-5015.
