Families with Young Children

Join us at Shaare Emeth for our free monthly Early Childhood events! All our programs are geared toward preschool-aged children.

Interfaith Couples & Families

Welcoming interfaith families and ensuring opportunities to fully participate in Jewish life is a natural part of our Congregation’s mission

Engaging learners in creative and innovative opportunities at every stage of life is the commitment of our adult learning team. In collaboration with our clergy and Director of Jewish Life and Learning, we offer our community a wide variety of learning opportunities.

Seniors

Senior adults are a vital part of our Shaare Emeth community, and our participant-led Seniors Steering Committee creates engaging events for our seniors throughout the year.

Topics include Jewish holidays and life cycle events, theology and prayer, Israel, history and Hebrew.

We at Shaare Emeth Religious School believe strongly in our mission to create positive, inclusive, Jewish, learning experiences for all students and their families.

We strive to provide a safe, nurturing camp environment where children can learn about their world, discover their strengths and feel connected to our community in the context of Reform Judaism.

Becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is one of the most significant events in a child’s Jewish upbringing, celebrating the child’s readiness to take on the blessings and responsibilities of a Jewish adult.

Caring

Shaare Emeth strives to fulfill the Jewish value of gemilut chasadim, acts of lovingkindness, by recognizing and responding with compassion and love to significant moments of both joy and pain in the lives of Shaare Emeth members.
