Our Vision
Join Us
Join us for the High Holidays!
Shaarei Shamayim invites the Madison Jewish community, as well as others from out of town, to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with us. We don’t have tickets, and all are welcome – members, long-time friends of the congregation, and guests. See our schedule and read more here!
In Focus
Adult Bnei Mitzvah Group
Never celebrated a bar or bat mitzvah? Looking to get more comfortable leading parts of a Shabbat service? Learn to lead the service, chant some Torah, give a dvar Torah, and anything else – either as a group or as individuals. Don’t be overwhelmed! You might only prepare one line of Torah and some short remarks on the portion.
If you’ve chanted Torah before but you’ve never really taken responsibility for leading a whole service, consider joining the group as well. Contact office@shamayim.org if interested!
