Our Vision
Join Us
New Shabbat Series
Saturday, January 26, 9:00 a.m.
We'll start the morning with coffee, a Shabbat service and Kiddush, and then a presentation and discussion led by Professor Teri Dobbs, who will weave together a narrative of Josima Feldschuh, a young Jewish composer from the Warsaw Ghetto, with the Torah portion, Yitro. She will discuss the importance of stories and oral histories with a focus on not forgetting/remembering and will share examples of Josima's music. Read more here.
Puppets and Jewish Stories with Marilyn Price
Sunday, January 27, 9:50 a.m.
Internationally known storyteller and puppeteer Marilyn Price will create a special morning of Jewish stories. Reaching out to our families of young children, she will dazzle and delight as she immerses her audience in stories of the past and highlights values that still resonate today. Register here.
In Focus
Community Bnei Mitzvah Celebrations: May 11 and June 8
Ten of our adult members will celebrate their bnei mitzvah over two Shabbat mornings. Join us for these special services -- our members will lead the service, give short talks, recite blessings, and read Torah.
Fundraisers: Voces de la Frontera
Shaarei Shamayim is continuing our work with Voces de la Frontera, Wisconsin's leading immigrant rights organization. Last year we raised $62,000 so that the Madison office could hire its first full-time organizer. Our members and friends will host several small house parties this fall and winter to continue to support the organization and fight for immigrant rights. If you would like to get involved, please contact the office.
