Learn With Us
A central tenet of Shaarei Tefillah's vision and mission is the importance of a lifetime of Jewish Education for all of our members. Our community provides ongoing learning opportunities through a full schedule of weekday and Shabbat classes, and excellent guest lecturers. The Education Committee oversees many of these programs and strives to ensure that our members and guests have every opportunity to expand their knowledge of TaNaKh, Torah She-ba'al Peh, Halakhah, and topics of contemporary Jewish relevance and resonances.

Divrei Torah
Rabbi Samuels delivers the main D'var Torah approximately twice a month. On alternate weeks, members of the congregation share divrei Torah from the pulpit, thereby helping us create a multi-vocal learning community.
If you are a member of Shaarei and would like to share words of Torah with our community, please contact Rabbi Samuels and/or our Gabbaei Divrei Torah.
For a primer on how to prepare a D'var Torah, you can read Rabbi Samuels's short essay "Anatomy of a D'var Torah."
