Sinai is a vibrant and active congregation of approximately 200 families that seeks to create a community of observing, learning, striving, and caring Jews.  Our congregation includes founding members, newer members who are recent residents in South Bend, and many in between.  Some of our younger members have moved back to South Bend and rejoined the synagogue of their youth.  Some come because they recognize the vibrancy and intensity of our Jewish life while firmly remaining modern in outlook and approach.

We are an egalitarian and traditional Conservative synagogue affiliated with The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ).  We encourage all of our members, male and female, to take their Judaism seriously and participate in its expression.  Our commitment to traditional Judaism is explicit in our commitment to daily minyan, through our focus on Shabbat as the center of our week, and our encouragement that members take upon themselves increasing numbers of mitzvot, from kashrut to Shabbat to daily learning to assisting the needy.

If you will be visiting South Bend , please make a special point of contacting us.  We look forward to meeting and welcoming you in person.  If you are considering a move to the area, please contact Rabbi Friedland.  The South Bend/Mishawaka area is a great place to live and be Jewish!
