Temple Sinai

Temple Sinai is a religious building in Sumter with Moorish architectural style expressed in its brick design. Inside, eleven stained glass windows depict biblical scenes, and spaces include a gift shop selling religious items, classrooms, and areas for community gatherings.

The structure was completed in 1912 following the merger of two Jewish organizations in 1895. Subsequent expansions added new spaces and functions to meet community needs.

The building itself reflects Jewish religious life through its stained glass windows and the objects displayed within. Visitors encounter symbols and artwork that reveal how faith has been practiced in this community over time.

Visitors should keep in mind the religious nature of the place and dress respectfully. The building offers access to multiple rooms to explore, including areas with exhibits on Jewish history.

A gift shop inside sells specialized religious items like menorahs and ritual objects that visitors rarely find elsewhere. This addition transforms the space into a practical center for both spiritual and community needs.
