B’ruchim Ha-ba’im! (Welcome!)
Congregation Sha’arey Ha-Yam, Gates of the Sea, is a warm and welcoming Reform Jewish congregation. Founded in 2004, our community has grown steadily since then. We gladly extend our hand in friendship and faith to all who wish to join us. Our mission is to create a warm and supportive environment which nurtures the hearts, minds and spirits of all our members. We are young and old, straight and gay, single and partnered, born Jewish, Jews-by-Choice, and interfaith. We come from Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist and Orthodox Jewish backgrounds as well as other religious traditions and no religious traditions.
Specifically, we seek to be:
1. A Bet Ha-Tefilah (a House of Prayer), providing a place for Jewish worship in the tradition of Reform Judaism but fully accessible, welcoming and nurturing to all.
2. A Bet Ha-K’nesset (a House of Assembly), a gathering place for the local Jewish community, offering programs and activities which promote the spiritual, educational and ethical welfare of all of our members.
3. A Bet Ha-Midrash (a House of Study), educating our children and preparing them to assume their place among the next generation of Jewish adults.
We are delighted that you have found your way to us, and we welcome your inquiries. Please explore this web site, and don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or e-mail for more information. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our community.

Oh Lord, my God, I pray that these things never end
the sand and the sea, the rush of the waters
the crash of the heavens, the prayer of the heart
the sand and the sea, the rush of the waters
the crash of the heavens, the prayer of the heart
