About Us

Welcome Home to Temple Sinai!


Temple Sinai is the center of a dynamic and caring community of Reform Jews in eastern Bergen County, New Jersey. We are a welcoming home for spirituality and learning, where members celebrate Jewish living through deeply meaningful religious, educational and social experiences.

Founded in 1952, Temple Sinai is proud to be a spiritual home for generations of families and individuals. Rooted in Reform Jewish values and open to diverse voices, we foster deep relationships, thoughtful learning, and a strong sense of belonging. Whether through worship, study, social action, or shared life moments, you’ll find opportunities to engage, grow, and feel at home here.

 

Our History

Temple Sinai began in May 1952, when five families gathered with a shared vision: to create a welcoming Reform Jewish congregation rooted in modern values and meaningful Jewish life. That vision quickly grew, and by December 1952, Temple Sinai officially joined the national Reform movement.

In our early years, we worshipped wherever space allowed—homes, rented rooms, and even a church basement—before building our permanent home in 1958 at the corner of Engle and Hudson Streets, where we remain today.

Over the years, Temple Sinai has continued to grow and thrive. Our Early Childhood Center, founded in 1977, along with our religious school and B’nei Mitzvah program, are among the heart of our community.

Proudly affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, Temple Sinai remains a place where generations come together to learn, celebrate, and belong.
