Sha’arei Israel Congregation welcomes new members.
Sha'arei Israel was founded in 1979. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds, creating an inviting atmosphere for Jews from all walks of life and levels of Jewish practice.
We invite you to meet with Rabbi Lev Cotlar to discuss your membership. He will introduce you to many of the Shul activities. As you learn more about us you may wish to volunteer for one of our committees. There is also a financial commitment that we ask members to make.
Please call Linda, our office administrator, at 919 847-8986. She will help you coordinate a time to meet the Rabbi.
Or email; Subject name: Membership. Your name and family member names, address and phone number to [email protected] And we will contact you.
