Shaare Torah is a vibrant, open-hearted, joyful and multi-generational synagogue community where you are welcome as you are. We learn, pray, play, pursue justice and find inspiration as we grow Jewishly together. At Shaare Torah, we strive to be a Jewish community of belonging, where we care for one another, our neighbors, Israel and our world. Rooted in tradition, we create Jewish experiences that spark wonder, stretch spirits and deepen relationships.
Kabbalat Shabbat – Monthly on the 2nd Friday of each month. Shabbat Morning Services – Weekly, 9:30 am.
We are pleased to offer Minyan On Demand to ensure our members can say Kaddish with a Minyan of their fellow community members.
Meet Our Rabbi, David B. Helfand! We are thrilled to welcome Rabbi David as the new rabbi of Shaare Torah! His passion for community, meaningful Jewish learning, and vibrant connection is already energizing our congregation. We're equally excited to welcome his wife Rebekah, their son, and their dog to Gaithersburg as they make Shaare Torah - and our city - their new home.
We can't wait to see you! Whether you are visiting us to celebrate a life cycle event (bar or bat mitzvah, upcoming wedding, or baby naming), want to enjoy a Shabbat experience, or just wish to drop by during the week for a program or to meet our staff, we welcome you.
If you believe in Jewish community, the power of Jewish ritual, family, learning, or social action, then Shaare Torah is definitely the place for you. We form those relationships as we participate in the life of the community. At Shaare Torah, there really is something for everyone.
