Congregation Sha’aray Shalom now counts more than 285 families as members, hosts a vibrant and inclusive religious school and one of the area’s most respected early learning centers. We are proud of how each member brings his or her own story to our diverse community—such as those who have a multi-generational history at our congregation and those new to the area or Congregation Sha’aray Shalom, of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking a Jewish community – a place to call home.
We have a tradition of an “open door”
which welcomes every family member — Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and non-Jewish family members — and strives to integrate them into our community. Our strength draws on our commitment to honor and respect the diversity of our backgrounds.
We are led by a dynamic clergy team of Rabbi Eric Berk and Cantor Steven Weiss, offering weekly Shabbat services as well as a full calendar of festival celebrations, a full-program religious school with nearly 125 students, a JCC Early Learning Center, and active adult learning and social programs.
We are affiliated with the Union of
Reform Judaism (URJ).
