Shabbat Minyan (Alternative Shabbat Services) Once a month Temple Sinai holds a morning service at Merritt Village as an alternative to the traditional service in the Sanctuary that often includes a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Services include drums, violin, guitar, and flute, as well as vocal music.
These services are organized and conducted by members of the Temple Ritual Committee. They use the new Reform movement prayerbook, Mishkan T'filah, and a prayer compilation with alternative prayers and blessings.
