This year Shaarei Tefillah celebrates its 25th anniversary. As part of the celebration, numerous activities have been planned, including trips to area parks and zoos geared toward our youth this past spring and two Boston harbor cruises held during the summer. The culminating celebratory event will be a dinner to be held on November 23rd. The shul will be honoring Rabbi Benjamin and Stephanie Samuels for their leadership and service to our shul over the past thirteen years. In addition we will honor a group of distinguished members as "Amudei HaKahal" --pillars of the community. An ad journal will be developed as well to be published at the dinner.
Ads for the journal can be placed online; please

We are also planning to publish a commemorative book on aspects of Sukkot, the holiday during which our shul came to be established back in 1983. This project is being coordinated by Andrew Greene and Deb Kram and will be published prior to this upcoming Sukkot. Members of our community are working on their own, in groups and as families to contribute original commentaries, essays and other short writings on many different aspects of the Chag.
We look forward to celebrating this milestone with each and every member of our community. We welcome your participation, ideas, contributions, and energy. Please feel free to contact any of the members of the 25th Anniversary Committee:
