The Rabbi Richard E. Lehrman Scholar In Residence Program 

Named after our beloved Founding Rabbi, The Rabbi Richard E. Lehrman Scholar In Residence Program is an annual weekend-long event that pays tribute to his legacy by connecting our congregation with a master teacher.  Topics and speakers are selected each year to bring a compelling message to Temple Sinai and our members frequently turn out in large numbers for the opportunity to learn and build community over the course of the weekend. 

Past Scholar in Residence Speakers:

2010 featured Rabbi Michael Cook, PhD, who lectured on "Understanding the Other Book"
