Temple Shaaray Tefila is a Reform congregation with a traditional spirit. Our worship services encompass a wide range of spiritual experiences, with an emphasis on engaging music, inspiring speakers, and community prayer. Our Rabbis lead us in joyful prayer in so many special settings: in our beautiful sanctuary, outside on our extraordinary grounds, and in families’ homes for more intimate Shabbat services.
