ONE CONGREGATION WITH A SERVICE OPTION FOR EVERYONE!

Congregations of Shaare Shamayim is the oldest Traditional Synagogue in Northeast Philadelphia. Our 600+ families enjoy the options of Traditional, Egalitarian (full women’s participation on the bima) and Jr. Congregation Services.  We invite you to join us every Shabbat, daven in the service of your choice and celebrate Shabbat as a united congregation with a lovely Shabbat Kiddush.

Aliyah and Torah honors are available in either service.  Call the Synagogue Office to arrange an Aliyah for your upcoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah, AufRuf, Baby Naming, Yahrzeit, etc.
