Check out below for the many ways you can get involved at Sinai and beyond including our next Family Promise Host Week and March Eco Challengecentered on Sustainable Shabbats.
Sinai Family Shelter Host Week Sunday, March 24-Sunday, March 31 We provide temporary housing for families experiencing homelessness through Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb various weeks throughout the year. Come together and directly impact the lives of others through our Sinai Family Shelter! We need your assistance with dinner, miscellaneous supplies, overnight hosting, Saturday day hosting, helping the families move in and move out, and laundry.
There are special volunteer opportunities for teens in Grades 9-12 to assist with tutoring and babysitting! This is a great way to get volunteer hours.
It's now the third month of our 2024 Eco Challenge hosted by the Temple Sinai Shomrei Adamah: Environmental Awareness Committee.
The March Challenge is Sustainable Shabbat. What principles within Judaism influence attitudes toward environmentally responsible Shabbats? While there may not be explicit guidelines for environmentally responsible Shabbat practices, the overarching ethical principles within Judaism provide a foundation for individuals and communities to integrate sustainable and responsible behaviors into their observance of Shabbat and daily life. The March Eco Challenge explores tenets in Judaism that can contribute to a positive environmental and spiritual ethic.
