spiritual well being of Northwest Indiana;
Whereas, Sinai Congregation formed under the leadership of
Moses Moritz, Fred Stern, Albert K. Hoodwin, Louis Bresken, Samuel
Nathanson, and others in 1913;
Whereas, The formation of this permanent congregation, which
first met to worship in a rented hall in 1904, and in various temporary

home for the Reform Jewish community of Northwest Indiana;
Whereas, Sinai Congregation successfully weathered periods of
turmoil in American History, including two World Wars and the Great
Depression;

number of times in its early years, requiring the Congregation to build

City in 1953; and
Whereas, Despite long odds and serious challenges, the Sinai
Congregation continues to grow and its Temple continues to stand as
a cultural and religious cornerstone in the Northwest Indiana
community one hundred years after its founding: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly honors the Sinai
Congregation on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
