After obtaining a professional design, Jerry Jacobson enlisted members to landscape the front of the sanctuary. Still, the space was not adequate for the growing group and the religious school needed a place to meet. Sol Katzen and Emauel Pearl obtained a construction building from the Valley Fair site and moved it to our property to be used as a school building. Shaya Yurfest donated his services and supervision of other members to lay the concrete foundation for the building. Other members moved the building, and prepared it for use by accepting contributed chairs, tables and blackboards.

In September of 1961 the adjacent 1-acre "Garner" property was purchased. In 1967 an attempt to re-build was unfortunately not successful. Eli Reinhard purchased and donated the adjoining 2-acre Barrett property in September of 1968. The property included an old adobe house that was used for more classrooms and a small cottage that became the youth house. Both of these buildings were later to become a source of income for many years.

In 1972 Asher Engler was pivotal in securing the Social Hall building from Golden West Savings & Loan. Julian Kaplan and Harry Goldman led a crew which renovated the building and helped with the interior courtyard and planting areas. And yet another improvement followed, the construction of a new kitchen. The Sisterhood took on the task of organizing and financing this improvement. This expansion also improved the seating capacity in the sanctuary.

Beginning in the mid 1960's Congregation Sinai established the Nursery school that has become an outstanding pre-school model for the entire community. Closed for a short time, the Nursery school re-opened its doors in 1976 and has been not only a source of income for the synagogue but also has enjoyed full enrollment producing a great sense of pride to our congregation. Some of our current active members were students in that preschool program in the early years.
