Welcome to Sha’ar
"My success as a rabbi isn't going to be measured by how many people I inspire to live my Jewish life, but by how many people I can inspire to live their own authentic Jewish life."

Sha'ar Justice Beit Midrash 2020/2021 : Wednesdays, 7:00pm-8:15pm EST
April 14 Topic: Healthcare Equity
Following the JBM, at 8:15pm, we will mark the transition from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Ha'Atzmaut with a brief Havdalah ritual.
In the traditional style of a Beit Midrash (House of Study), we’ll combine wrestling with sources together with guided teachings focused on a range of societal issues: civic responsibility, democracy, leadership, race, immigration, healthcare, income inequality, climate, and more. Each unit will be capped by a visit with a leading activist or advocacy organization to build the bridge between learning and doing, and to catalyze the transformational impact of our study.

The Sunset Stroll Minyan & The Morning Walk Minyan : Tuesdays at 5:30pm EST & Thursdays at 8:15am EST
Sha’ar announces a new, creative weekday morning & evening minyan!
Due to the great success of the Morning Walk Minyan, we've added an evening edition! The events are weekly outdoor devotional walks through Central Park for those who wish to expand their experience of prayer to include nature as a sanctuary for fellowship and embodied spirituality; framed by kavanot / intentions and the Mourner’s Kaddish.
For both walks, please gather at the posted time at the statue in front of the Delacorte Theater just off 80th Street and Central Park West; both walks are approximately 45 minutes long. Please visit our website for weather-related updates.
To listen in on the Minyan, register to receive the Zoom link & dial-in information. Click here for the Morning Walk and here for the Sunset Stroll.
For all outdoor programs, please visit our homepage for weather-related updates. All outdoor programs require participants to wear masks.
