Shaarei Shamayim is Madison's Jewish Reconstructionist and Jewish Renewal Community. It is a growing community of almost 90 households with adult members ranging from college age to senior citizens. We are a diverse community of professionals, students, and other working people. We welcome traditional and nontraditional families, singles, interfaith couples, and gays and lesbians from Madison and its surrounding area.

We have come together from varied Jewish backgrounds, and our members' Jewish education ranges from extensive to none at all. We work to create an environment where all people feel welcome regardless of their religious, spiritual, or cultural identity. We are committed to fostering Jewish spiritual experience through prayer, meditation, study, song, social action, and friendship. Shaarei Shamayim is dually affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation and Aleph: Alliance for Jewish Renewal.
