Hopping for a Good Cause

Temple Sinai is teaming up with Action Karate to hold another hop-a-thon this Friday to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

Sinai hosted its first hop-a-thon last year, raising more than $800 for the MDA, according to Matthew Brenner, head instructor at Action Karate.

The event will be held at Temple Sinai from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Friday, and is open to children between 3 and 5 years old. 

In addition to the hop-a-thon, Brenner said Action Karate instructors will teach free 15-minute fun self-defense classes to the children who participate.

Action has been holding classes at Temple Sinai while it got its new location—at the former Beneficial Bank on Highland Avenue—ready, said Brenner.

The new building officially opens for business on Monday, with a grand opening likely a few weeks from now.
