Refugee Shabbat Service
2026-03-27 18:30 - 19:30 | Temple Sinai – 3100 Military Road NW, Washington, DC, United States
Join us for Refugee Shabbat where we will honor refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people. At this time when immigrants are being targeted, we will learn from other communities who have stood up with their neighbors in order to educate and mobilize our local community. We will welcome Rabbi Jill Avrin, Director of Campus Affairs at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Rabbi Avrin’s work addressing the ICE surge in Minnesota has included organizing and attending interfaith gatherings and vigils, protesting, advocacy, education, and mutual aid efforts. She helped host the 700 clergy who came to Minnesota in January with MARCH, including national leaders from the Reform movement. She has been protesting at the Whipple building where detainees are still being held, as well as at her local suburban protests. Rabbi Avrin has always centered social justice as a primary part of her portfolio as a rabbi. She was co-chair of the Minnesota Rabbinical Association in 2020, when George Floyd was murdered, and helped organize the Minnesota Jewish community’s united response at that time. In recent months, she has taken a lead role in addressing Operation Metro Surge through her work at JCRC and YourJewish.

Multiracial Sinai Kehillat Shabbat Service
2026-04-04 10:30 - 12:00 | Temple Sinai – 3100 Military Road NW, Washington, DC, United States
Are we as welcoming as we believe ourselves to be?
On the yahrzeit of Martin Luther King Jr., Temple Sinai’s Multiracial Sinai Committee invites you to join us for a Shabbat of reflection, music, and honest conversation.
We are honored to welcome Rabbi Isaama Goldstein-Stoll, who grew up at Temple Sinai and now serves as a national URJ leader committed to affirming and celebrating Jewish diversity. Rabbi Isaama will offer the d’var Torah, inviting us to consider how we create space for Jews of color and multiracial Jewish families—and where we may still have room to grow.
This year, MRS partners with Kehillat Shabbat, Temple Sinai’s lay-led twice-monthly Shabbat minyan. Music will be led by Anita Stoll, featuring melodies that reflect the rich cultural diversity of the Jewish people, reminding us that Jewish identity has always spanned continents, languages, and lived experiences.
Dr. King’s legacy challenges communities of faith not only to speak about justice, but to embody it. On this Shabbat during Pesach, as we celebrate the “mixed multitude” marching from Egyptian bondage, we strive to look inward with courage and outward with compassion as we continue shaping a synagogue grounded in belonging.
A Kosher-for-Passover lunch will follow, offering time for connection and conversation around the table. Please RSVP to help us plan.
All are welcome as we continue working toward a community where everyone can feel at home.
