About Us
Boards of Directors
Board members of Sinai Memorial Chapel are nominated based on demonstrated leadership in temples, synagogues, and community organizations. They are recognized as exemplifying the values of the chevra kadisha: modesty, respect, dignity, empathy, and community. Sinai board members serve without compensation. In fact, board members pay dues to defray the costs of board and committee meetings, the Annual Meeting, and the annual Tsayin Adar event. This derives from the sentiment that no one in the leadership of a chevra kadisha should ever be even perceived as being materially enriched by participation in the holy society.
