Congregation Shaarai Shomayim

At Congregation Shaarai Shomayim, we learn, we worship, we pursue justice, and experience Jewish Life in a welcoming family environment.

Congregation Shaarai Shomayim is Lancaster's Reform synagogue, and the center of Jewish life in Central PA. At Congregation Shaarai Shomayim, we offer a multitude of opportunities beyond the traditional for people to engage, learn more, and live Jewishly. We are committed to diversity and inclusion in all that we do.

We also have a special focus on Jewish education. Shaarai's religious school, Sh'arim, provides students with exciting, engaging, hands-on Jewish learning experiences while providing the literacy they will need to become practicing Jewish adults. We view Jewish learning as a lifelong process and adult education is a tradition at our Congregation.
