Temple Sinai was an egalitarian, Reform Jewish synagogue that was located at 4401 Hatton Point Road, Portsmouth, Virginia, in the United States.[1] The congregation, established in December 1953,[2] was called A Family of Traditional and Non-Traditional Families and was a member of the Union for Reform Judaism.

The congregation was headed by Rabbi Arthur Z. Steinberg, of blessed memory. Temple Sinai celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2004 and merged with Norfolk's Ohef Sholom Temple in June 2012.[3]
