In a post-COVID world, it has come to our attention that more and more people are having anxiety about their finitude. Here at Sinai, we are able to give people greater peace of mind by helping them understand how they can make advance plans for their end of life, both for a funeral and a final resting place. As a non-profit Sinai is offering a service to our members as well as giving back to the greater community at large. If you are interested in learning more and beginning these conversations please FILL OUT THIS FORM or reach out to Cara Walden directly at (201) 724-4958 or cwalden@sinaichapel.org.
