A stimulating weekly gathering that alternates between study of a section of the Torah portion of the week and study from other sources. Beginning at 9:15am, the session concludes around 10:30am with a brief service.  To learn more about this informal and fulfilling weekly gathering, click here.

Adult Choir
As is a Sha'arey Shalom tradition, most services are enhanced by the inclusion of our choir.  Under Cantor Daniels' guidance, our choir is constantly adding to its rich repertoire. Newcomers are always welcome, with rehearsals usually on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 8:00pm.

Adult Beginner's Hebrew is offered throughout the year. Contact the Temple office to sign up for the next session
