Founded in 1948 by a group of Jewish families living in western Suffolk County, Sinai Reform Temple’s history has been one of achievement, trials, sorrow, and joy. 

The property where our synagogue is located was first purchased in 1948, but it was not until 1964 that a sanctuary was built.  For 16 years, the congregation grew and flourished as the South Shore became more populous. 

Though the temple was destroyed by arson. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and with the help of our friends, services continued at various venues including the Spirit Alive Center of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, Bay Shore Jewish Center, and the Interfaith Chapel at NYIT in Central Islip. 

In 1993, our current Synagogue was built and all has been quiet since.
