Welcome to Temple De Hirsch Sinai
Connect... Two beautiful locations are home to one spiritual Temple family. Our historic Capitol Hill Campus in Seattle or our contemporary East Side campus in Bellevue, offers something for everyone. Whether large and festive at one of our holiday celebrations, or intimate and personal in a havurah group, our members connect with each other and their Judaism in personal and profound ways. More...
Worship... We approach God in many ways: through the power of song, the inspiration of words, the beauty of sacred space and the authenticity of our intention. Our worship is as diverse as it is engaging, as moving as it is participatory. We feature a traditional Kabbalat Shabbat service, a Classic Shabbat service underscored with uplifting classical music, an intimate Shabbat Unplugged service and our popular Rock Shabbat featuring a lively musical worship experience. Additionally, on Saturday mornings, we celebrate with a stirring Shacharit service. More...
Learn...The life of the mind paves the way for the journey of the spirit. We delve into the text of our tradition, seeking voices of the past to guide our hearts and minds as contemporary Jews. Religious education begins early at our very own Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool. Our Bridge Family Religion School provides Judaic and Hebrew studies programs for children in Kindergarten through twelfth grade. Our vibrant Life Long Learning program and historic Judaic Library gives adults opportunities to deepen their understanding of Judaism in relaxed settings. More...
