Announcements
No Shabbat services until after the fall holidays after which time we are planning Shabbat morning services only once a month, dates to be announced. The month of Elul is upon us. It is traditional to hear the shofar blown each day. We plan to hold in-person services for the High Holidays and the first and last days of Sukkot, indoors with masks. Please see the schedule below.
Shaarey Tphiloh is grateful to Rabbi Shub for leading the congregation for the past 3 years. Rabbi Shub has decided to pursue graduate studies in clinical counseling and we wish him hatzlacha in his new endeavors.
Book of Remembrance Update
This year, the Book of Remembrance will be updated on a regular basis throughout the year, in the online version, which can be located on our website under the Resources tab. It is password protected, so please email the office: maineshul@gmail.com to obtain the password. If you have contributed to the Yizkor book in the past, we would appreciate your donation of $18 to maintain the names of your loved ones in the online listing. For new donors, please send $36 to Shaarey Tphiloh Synagogue, 400 Deering Ave., Portland, Maine 04103 with your name(s), email and/or phone number and the name(s) of those being remembered by you and we will add your loved ones to the book. You can do this at any time throughout the year and it will be added to our Remembrance Book.
