Updates
 
Maine is beginning to re-open its economy gradually under a controlled phased plan. While Shaarey Tphiloh remains closed for regular services in line with the local Jewish institutions, we occasionally host outdoors-only, mask-wearing, and socially-distanced, small gatherings to meet as a community while taking full precautionary measures. 

For the most up to date information for the City of Portland, please check here and for the State of Maine, click here.

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 
Rabbi@MaineSynagogue.org. He is best reached between 3 and 5 pm on Mondays and Thursdays at (207) 613-5765. 

Our office remains functioning via phone (207) 773-0693 and email (Office@MaineSynagogue.org). 

Stay safe and healthy!

Community Resources & Events
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.
 
To donate to this important cause, visit here.

MJFF: Maine Jewish Film Festival
Saturday, Nov. 7 through Sunday, Nov. 15

2020 MJFF features a fascinating collection of films from around the world. Offerings include a gripping drama about a youth orchestra of Palestinians and Israeli Jews, a documentary about the only Arab recognized as ‘righteous among nations’ by Israel, and a romantic story about an ex German POW who became a sports hero in England after WWII. You’ll meet the wildlife photographer whose great white whale was a polar bear, the Yiddish poet who was rescued by Stalin and the gay Mormon stand-up comic studying for his bar mitzvah. Special programs give the opportunity to meet filmmakers, artists and experts who add so much to the festival experience.
