Sinai Circles are groups of 8-12 members who want to connect over shared interests, demographics and more! Sinai Circles were born out of the need to create more intimate ways for our members to find their people.
We imagine that there would be groups for people who want to have brunch around the city, play games together, and maybe even share Jewish experiences with one another. Sinai Circles will be entirely lay-led and there will be a group of “coaches” to help guide.
While Sinai Circles do not need to contain Jewish material to be created, there will be Jewish content available for groups to reference.
Check out our FAQs and email circles@templesinaiatlanta.org with additional questions.

4. What if a Sinai Circle I am interested in is already full?
Once a Sinai Circle is full, it is closed. If there is a topic that interests you and that particular Circle is closed, please consider forming and facilitating your own Sinai Circle on that topic or area of interest.
5. What if I can only attend some of the Sinai Circle gatherings?
The essence of Sinai Circle lies in fostering connections, hinging on the reliability of shared time and space. Acknowledging that life and the world may occasionally introduce unforeseen conflicts, we kindly ask that you express interest in joining a Sinai Circle only if its meeting dates and times align seamlessly with your schedule.
