A CHERISHED HISTORY OF PRAYER & COMMUNITY

One of the oldest and most iconic synagogues in North America, Congregation Shaar Hashomayim stands as a cornerstone of Jewish faith, cherished family traditions, and a vibrant way of life.

 

FOR EVERY SIMCHA

Considered the premier venue for weddings, B’nei Mitzvah celebrations, community events, tribute dinners, concerts, lectures, and seminars, we offer a range of different sized banquet halls and meeting rooms from the most intimate to the most lavish.

As new members at the Shaar, it's been an amazing experience for our entire family to be able connect with our Jewish heritage, something that we felt we'd been missing for many years.
