Welcome to Congregation Shaarei Tefillah!!

We are a Modern Orthodox synagogue located in beautiful Newton Centre, Massachusetts, in the greater Boston area. Our small, energetic shul aspires to provide an inclusive, friendly, and participatory atmosphere conducive to personal growth through Torah study, serious religious expression, and building a supportive community of values and meaning. As our Sages taught us so long ago: The world stands on three things: Torah, Avodah, veGemilut Chasadim. At Shaarei, we too stand on, and just as importantly, we stand for these three foundational pillars.

Please find within the pages of our web site information about our history, identity, leadership, programs, and services. Enjoy!

 

This year Shaarei Tefillah celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Birkhat HaChammah – The Once-Every-Twenty-Eight Year Blessing:
We will recite this blessing together as a community after the Siyyum on erev Pesach.

Achat Sha'alti … Of the Lord I ask one thing . . . to dwell in the house of the Lord all my days
Our building committee is hard at work meeting with neighbors, city officials, and our architects to advance our goal of creating a sacred space for our congregation that inspires and advances our religious aspirations, fulfills our programmatic needs, and is respectful of the community in which we live and are located. Stay tuned for continuing updates.
