Spread holiday joy this Chanukah season by gifting your fellow temple members with colorful candles.

Between now and December 1, Shaaray Tefila members can order a box of colorful Chanukah candles to give to their congregational friends, family, classmates, teachers, and clergy. Spread holiday joy and warmth this season, make someone’s day, and help make our synagogue continue to be the warm and welcoming place we all know it to be!

RAISE THE ROOFTOP
AT SHAARAY TEFILA

We are redoing our roof!

Help us to reimagine our outdoor roof space to inspire the next generation of Nursery School children with a state-of-the-art play structure and interactive playspace.

This project also benefits the entire congregation, creating a wonderful site for community-wide events.

Help us build for the future!
