Updates
 
As we experience another surge in COVID-19 infection rates across the state, Maine has tightened its restrictions around mask-wearing and interstate travel, and has readjusted its economic reopening plans. For the most up to date information for the City of Portland, please check here and for the State of Maine, click here.

Shaarey Tphiloh remains closed for regular services out of public health concerns, but with the news of vaccine development, is starting to consider our reopening plans. 

We will keep you updated about additional programs and events listed under "Shaarey Tphiloh Online" as well as available resources with our weekly newsletters.

The Rabbi is happy to provide counseling and advice via

Jacob Cousins Memorial
Unveiled in September 1935, the Jacob Cousins Memorial was part of an ongoing nationwide effort to highlight both the patriotism of Jewish Americans and their contribution during times of conflict. The memorial is a key artifact in the history of the Jewish community in southern Maine linking past to present and inspiring visitors to remember, respect and contemplate the cost of war. 
The memorial was significantly renovated with extensive bench seating for viewing it and Casco Bay. The restoration was officially opened on October 1, 2018. Shaarey Tphiloh is proud to be one of the community sponsors of this memorial. Friends of the Eastern Promenade is continuing to raise funds to cover the cost of the recent redesign of this historic landmark.

Sunday Simcha! - Listen to the archived programs online.
Hosts: Hillel, Barbara Merson, Natan Kahn, and Ben Naftali

Sunday Simcha  is the only Jewish music program in Maine and northern New England and one of only a handful of Jewish music radio shows in the United States. Shows are wildly eclectic—one of the few Jewish shows to feature modern, diverse, and cutting-edge recordings in addition to traditional music.
