Shaare Emeth has long been a supporter of the Reform Movement’s Outreach Program, which aims to welcome interfaith families and people who want to learn more about Judaism. Through that effort, we provide support, Jewish education, and opportunities to celebrate Jewishly for interfaith couples and their families.  Some of our programs include a Mentoring Program for interested interfaith families, Jews-by-Choice, and people who are interested in converting and other efforts to welcome interfaith couples and Jews by Choice into the fabric of our Congregation.  Every member of our Congregation, Jewish and non-Jewish, is fully welcomed and included in every aspect of Congregational life. Contact Rabbi Jim Bennett or Program Director, Ronnie Brockman by email or by phone, 314-569-0010, for additional information.

Shaare Emeth has long welcomed gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Jews, their families, friends and their partners.  We are committed to being a Keshet (“rainbow”) that is welcoming and promotes diversity, self-respect, and human rights. For additional information, please contact Rabbi Andrea Goldstein by email at agoldstein@shaare-emeth.org or by phone, 314-569-0010, for additional information.

In addition to providing interpreters once a month at Shabbat services and at other events, Shaare Emeth sponsors programs and activities for our Deaf Community.  Contact Rosalie Stein by email at rstein@shaare-emeth.org or by phone, 314-569-0010, for additional information.
