Why Congregation Shaara Tfille? Because you are a Conservative Jew looking for a synagogue in Saratoga County that is affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Because you want to attend weekly Shabbat services based upon the Lev Shalem prayer book. Because you want to be able to attend Monday and Thursday Morning Minyan to say Mourner’s Kaddish before you have to get to your job or to stay for bagels and coffee, maybe a shot of bourbon and lively conversation.
Why Congregation Shaara Tfille? Because you believe that all Jews who seek a place of worship should be treated with respect and equality. Because you believe that all Jews, regardless of race, gender or how they identify, should be able to carry the Torah, receive an Aliyah, be counted for a minyan. Because you believe that all members of a congregation should be able to fill any position, take on any role, participate in any program.
Why Congregation Shaara Tfille? Because we are a warm and welcoming community of parents of teenagers and toddlers, young professionals, empty-nesters, and octogenarians. Because we take care of each other, participating in the local Jewish community, reaching out to all residents of Saratoga County, the Capital District and the North Country with acts of tzedakah (charity) – Judaism’s fundamental Mitzvah. Because we support the State of Israel and Jewish communities everywhere. Because we truly believe in tikkun olam – healing the world.
